The Lowry Lady Buckaroos rode into their clash with South Tahoe with three straight victories in their saddlebag and left with a fourth. Outgunned from the start, Tahoe found themselves staring down the barrel of a 14-1 drubbing.
For Lowry, it was just another day at the corral—this marks their seventh win of the season by seven runs or more.
Leading the charge was Isabel Upton, who turned in a performance worthy of the record books. She cracked three hits in three trips to the plate, setting a new personal best, and tacked on a pair of runs for good measure. Not far behind was Crisslyn Rodriguez, flashing her brand of firepower with a 2-for-3 outing, one triple, an RBI, and two runs scored.
Lowry found their way aboard, finishing the game with a commanding on-base percentage of .514. Meanwhile, South Tahoe could only muster a .348, proving that when it comes to getting on and making it count, the Buckaroos beat the Vikings in every department.
The latest triumph pushes Lowry’s record to a sparkling 11-3, with their last four victories coming on the road. Over that stretch, they’ve been swinging like they mean it, averaging 12.3 runs per contest.
South Tahoe, meanwhile, finds themselves in a dry spell, dropping their fourth straight to slip to a 2-11 mark on the season. The Vikings showed some early fight, even managing to snag a lead, but their edge was short-lived against the relentless Buckaroos.
South Tahoe did have a few bright spots, with four players notching hits. Campbell Mathews stood out, going 2-for-3 and driving in the team’s lone run.
As Lowry gallops toward the heart of their season, they’ve shown they can handle the dust and the distance. If they keep swinging like this, there’s no telling how far the trail might take them.
