Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pontotoc). They blew past the Houston Hilltoppers 11-1 on Friday. Considering the Warriors have won three games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Olivia Galloway was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. Galloway was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-3. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March of 2024.
In other batting news, Emarie Boddie was excellent, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Kelsy Spears also deserves some recognition as she scored her first run of the season.
Pontotoc was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .407. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Pontotoc is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. Houston is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-7.
Coming up, Pontotoc will square off against East Webster at 11:30 a.m. on Friday. East Webster has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 6.6 runs per game on average), something Pontotoc will no doubt try to take advantage of.
