Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Marion). They were the clear victors by a 21-15 margin over the Cole Cougars on Thursday. The victory was familiar territory for the Bulldogs, who have now won three games in a row.
Gianna Ricarte and Maggie Luna did most of the damage at the plate: Ricarte got on base in four of her six plate appearances with four runs, two doubles, and two RBI, while Luna went 3-for-5 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. That's the most doubles Ricarte has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Carlie Alvarado, who went 2-for-5 with one home run, four RBI, and one double.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Marion kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 18 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive matches.
Marion's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 16-5-3. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games.
