While Jefferson West didn't have the best season last year (they finished 6-11-1), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They put the hurt on the Royal Valley Panthers with a sharp 8-1 victory on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won six games by six runs or more so far this season.
Addison Garrett spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on six hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Olivia Meyer was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-4. Another player making a difference was Megan Malone, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4.
Meyer wasn't the only one making solid contact: Jefferson West kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in three consecutive contests.
Jefferson West's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-0. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Royal Valley, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-2.
Jefferson West will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Panthers: the pair will be back at it again later today.
