With a playoff win on the line, Lexington rose to the challenge on Saturday. They blew past the West Trojans 9-3. Considering the Eagles have won 13 games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Taylor Akin was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off nine hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in February.
In other batting news, Avery Rodriguez was incredible, going 4-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March of 2024. Kendall Gural was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Lexington kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive matches.
Lexington has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for West, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-17-1.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Lexington beat the Trojans by a score of 9-3 later that day.
