Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Maryknoll). They put the hurt on the Kamehameha Kapalama Warriors with a sharp 14-3 win on Tuesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Spartans with their most commanding win of the season.
Kasi Cruz spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on three hits and racked up ten Ks. Those ten strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.
On the hitting side, Maryknoll let Palehua Silva and Kyla Abad run wild. Silva went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run and five RBI, while Abad got on base in four of her five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. That triple was Abad's first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Reyni Hiraoka, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances.
Maryknoll pushed their record up to 6-4 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Kamehameha Kapalama, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-4.
Coincidentally, Maryknoll and Kamehameha Kapalama will both be playing 'Iolani the next time they take the field. The Warriors will host the Raiders at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, while the Spartans will head out to face them at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.
