Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Petal). They blew past the Oak Grove Warriors 16-1 on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won ten games by six runs or more so far this season.
Jaley Weathersby looked comfortable as she pitched four innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Taylor Foster, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Layla Brock, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Petal always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .629. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The win (which was Petal's sixth in a row) raised their record to 16-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Oak Grove, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-7.
