O'Connor waltzed into their game on Thursday with eight straight wins... but they left with nine. Everything went their way against the Marshall Rams as they made off with a 12-2 win. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 11-1 back in March.
O'Connor got a great performance from Bel Ganter as she struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits (and not a single walk). Those seven strikeouts gave Ganter a new career-high.
On the hitting side, Isabella Sierra was excellent, scoring a run while going 1-for-3. What's more, she posted three RBI, the most she's had since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Meiko Dominguez, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3.
O'Connor was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .423. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .333 or higher in five consecutive contests.
O'Connor pushed their record up to 16-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for Marshall, they have been struggling recently as they've lost 12 of their last 13 matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-15 record this season.
