Whitney extended their postseason success on Tuesday against Archbishop Mitty. They put the hurt on the Monarchs with a sharp 12-4 win. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 contests by six runs or more this season.
Taylor Cordell spent all seven innings on the mound, and it’s clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on eight hits and racked up eight Ks.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Lulu Im, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and four RBI while going 2-for-4. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Olivia Nelson, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI.
They weren’t the only ones making solid contact: Whitney kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they’ve now got at least eight hits in seven consecutive games.
Whitney’s victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 25-8. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. As for Archbishop Mitty, they moved to 26-4 with that defeat, which also ended their nine-game winning streak.
Looking ahead, Whitney will head out to face off against Clovis East at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Wildcats 1.9, the Timberwolves 2) so any runs scored will be well earned. Archbishop Mitty does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
