Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Heights). They blew past the Southeast Golden Buffalo 26-1 on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Falcons, who have now won seven matchups by 12 runs or more so far this season.
Jaime Jimenez made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Jimenez was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 1-for-1 with three RBI, one run, and one double.
In other batting news, Hayden Wettstein was incredible, firing off two home runs, three stolen bases, and eight RBI while going 3-for-3. Those eight RBI gave her a new career-high. Ellie Wilkins was another key player, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and two RBI.
Heights kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.6 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 10.8.
The win made it two in a row for Heights and bumps their season record up to 7-13. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 3 runs in those games. As for Southeast, they are on a 20-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6.

The Titans have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.7 runs per game on average), something the Falcons will no doubt try to take advantage of.
