Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lexington). They were the clear victors by a 14-5 margin over the Franklin Lions on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won eight matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Taylor Akin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and one unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Lexington got a massive performance out of Maya Bell, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs. The dominant performance also gave Bell a new career-high in RBI (three). Averie Mathews was another key player, going 2-for-5 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
Lexington kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in eight consecutive contests.
Lexington has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-5 record this season.

As for Franklin, the loss snapped their winning streak at 14 games and leaves them with a 20-3-2 record.
