Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Blackman). Their pitcher stepped up to hand Rockvale a 23-0 shutout on Wednesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Blaze considering their one-run performance the matchup before.
Lilliana Acosta looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched.
At the plate, Sophia Sullivan and Alyssa Barber did most of the damage at the plate: Sullivan went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four runs, and five RBI, while Barber got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Those five RBI gave Sullivan a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Kylie Breakey, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Blackman was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .643. They are 9-1 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.
Blackman pushed their record up to 13-11 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.0 runs over those games. As for Rockvale, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 6-14.
As of now, neither Blackman nor Rockvale have any future games scheduled.
