After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Landrum, Blacksburg was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. They blew past the Liberty Red Devils 16-3. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won seven contests by nine runs or more so far this season.
Lucy Thayer was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with four stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Those four stolen bases gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Morgan Merritt was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Taylor Tessner, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double.
Blacksburg's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-8. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Liberty, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost ten of their last 11 matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-17 record this season.
As of now, neither Blacksburg nor Liberty have any future games scheduled.
