Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Southridge). Everything went their way against the Pasco Bulldogs on Tuesday as Southridge made off with a 22-2 win. Considering the Suns have won four matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Avery Garvey made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season. She was even better at the plate, going a perfect 5-for-5 with two triples, five RBI, and one run. Those two triples gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Jadyn Holdren was a standout: she went 4-for-5 with seven RBI, four runs, and three doubles. Orian Hagen was another key player, going 4-for-5 with two triples, three runs, and three RBI.

Southridge always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .644. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Southridge's victory was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they've averaged 14.6 runs this season. As for Pasco, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-1.

Looking ahead, Southridge will welcome Moses Lake at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. We've got a battle between Bulldogs coming up. Pasco's pitchers better be ready for this one: Hermiston has averaged an impressive 12.8 runs per game this season.
