Alliance had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Lexington on Saturday. The Bulldogs never let the Minutemen get on the board and left with a 12-0 win. Considering the Bulldogs have won five matchups by more than six runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Kaiya Hudson was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in October of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Hannah Benzel, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs, two doubles, and two RBI.

Alliance always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .609. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lexington only posted an OBP of .286.

The victory (which was Alliance's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-7. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Lexington, they are on a 12-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-9.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Alliance will host Scottsbluff on Tuesday. The Bearcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.5 runs per game on average), something the Bulldogs will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Lexington, they will square off against Southern Valley/Alma at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Lexington's pitchers better be ready for this one: Southern Valley/Alma has averaged an impressive 10.3 runs per game this season.
