The Tilton School Rams are taking a road trip to challenge Dana Hall at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Rams fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Wednesday's season opener. They came out on top against Phillips Exeter Academy by a score of 9-5 last Wednesday.
Gailine Paquin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and two unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up 11 Ks.
At the plate, Tilton School got a massive performance out of Alexa Gillis, who went 3-for-4 with three doubles, two runs, and one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Zoe Twarog, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Tilton School always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .528. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Phillips Exeter Academy only posted an OBP of .364.
Meanwhile, Dana Hall was not the first on the board last Friday, but they got there more often. They put the hurt on Lexington Christian Academy with a sharp 17-6 win.
Ace Murphy was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Murphy was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-5.
In other batting news, Samantha Kingsley was a standout: she scored three runs and stole five bases while going 3-for-4. Erin Kennedy was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 3-for-4.
