Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Loudoun Valley). They blew past the Dominion Titans 21-4 on Thursday. Considering the Vikings have won five contests by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Hailey White and Maddie Howell were major factors while hitting and pitching. On the mound, White tossed three innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. Meanwhile, Howell tossed two innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. White has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. At the plate, White got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three runs, two RBI, and one double, while Howell went 1-for-4 with two RBI and one run. Those two RBI gave Howell a new career-high.
In other batting news, Anna Ramos was a standout: she fired off two home runs, seven RBI, and three runs while going 3-for-3. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Kayla Dunkerley, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
