Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Princeton). They put the hurt on the Mendota Trojans with a sharp 17-5 victory on Tuesday. The win was nothing new for the Tigers as they're now sitting on three straight.
Piper Hansen spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and one unearned) runs on ten hits and racked up six Ks.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Ellie Harp, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, four runs, and one stolen base. Those four runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Sam Woolley, who got on base in three of her five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
Princeton pushed their record up to 9-8 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. That said, the team wasn't facing the toughest opposition over that stretch, as it included 2-10 Mendota and 4-10 Newman Central Catholic (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 33.9% over those games). As for Mendota, they are on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-10.
