Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Nelsonville-York). They were the clear victors by an 18-8 margin over the River Valley Raiders on Monday. Winning may never get old, but the Buckeyes sure are getting used to it with their eighth in a row.
Lilly Gura spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and four unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Emmie Fowler, who went 2-for-4 with five RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Paisley Stadler, who went 2-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Nelsonville-York kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive contests.
Nelsonville-York pushed their record up to 12-5 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games.
