East Ridge<\/a> extended their winning streak to five on Friday, bumping them up to 16-2. They never let the Cape Coral Seahawks<\/a> get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 games by six runs or more this season.<\/p>\n Simmone Hymiller<\/a> tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out six over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn’t given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.<\/p>\n At the plate, the team relied heavily on Veronica Peterson<\/a>, who went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. She has been hot recently, having posted three or more hits the last three times she’s played. Another player making a difference was Grayson DeMartino<\/a>, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.<\/p>\n East Ridge was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .455. That was just more of the same: they’ve now posted a batting average of .406 or higher in five consecutive contests.<\/p>\n As for Cape Coral, their loss dropped their record down to 10-6. The shutout was out of character for they seeing as the last time the team failed to score was back in February.<\/p>\n On Cape Coral’s side, they saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jocelyn Slater<\/a>, who went 1-for-2 with one double. That double was Slater’s first of the season.<\/p>\n Coming up, East Ridge will take on Westminster Christian in a tournament on Friday.
