Meanwhile, Holliston was not able to break out of their rough patch on Monday as the team picked up their eighth straight loss. They took a 7-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of Ashland.
Like Westwood, Holliston also got a great game from a two-way player: Isabella Weidman. On the mound, she pitched four innings while giving up just two earned (and four unearned) runs off five hits. Those two earned runs gave Weidman a new career-low. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
Weidman wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Caroline Harris, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Another was Julia Galileau, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run.
Westwood's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-4. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Holliston, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-14.
Holliston's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Westwood has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.7 hits per game. It's a different story for Holliston, though, as they've been averaging 11.7 hits. Given Westwood's sizable advantage in that area, the Panthers will need to find a way to close that gap.
Westwood might still be hurting after the 11-2 loss they got from Holliston when the teams last played back in April. Will the Wolverines have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
