Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask King). They were the clear victor by a 17-0 margin over the John Paul II Centurions on Friday. The Brahmas might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matches by seven runs or more this season.
The team relied heavily on Shyla Saldana, who scored four runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-4. The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in runs. Addison Beltran was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.
King always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .536. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
King has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.9 runs on average over those games. John Paul II is on a six-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-3.
Looking ahead, King will be taking part in a tournament against Rockport-Fulton at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Rockport-Fulton's pitching crew has only allowed three runs per game this season, so King's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for John Paul II, they will take on La Vernia in a tournament on Saturday.
