Mac Verdejo made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 15 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and two doubles.
In other batting news, Addison Forde was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Mae Brewin also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
Lake Braddock always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .515. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Alexandria City only posted an OBP of .226.
West Potomac's record now sits at 3-4. As for Lake Braddock, their record is now 5-2.
Friday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. West Potomac has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .433. However, it's not like Lake Braddock struggles in that department as they've averaged .470. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
