Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Canton). They put the hurt on the Kemp Yellowjackets with a sharp 21-2 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Eagles have won 11 matches by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Rylee Busby was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out eight over four innings pitched. She has been consistent : she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.
In other batting news, Chloe Howe was a standout: she went 4-for-5 with five RBI, three runs, and one triple. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. Lily Cervantes was another key player, going 3-for-5 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI.
Canton is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-6-2 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Kemp, they dropped their record down to 1-14-1 with the loss, which was their sixth straight at home.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Canton will take on Athens at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Hornets have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.89 runs per game on average), something the Eagles will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Kemp, they will challenge Van at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Vandals will roll in looking for their 17th straight victory, something the Yellowjackets surely won't give up without a fight.
