Scoty Lewis has been a one-woman wrecking crew as a batter and pitcher for the \u201clocal nine\u201d in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019s hitting .509, but has also accrued a miniscule 1.09 ERA and 0.78 WHIP, and amassed 327 K\u2019s as the Diggers\u2019 ace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other Diggers putting up team-leading offensive numbers are Zoe Clark, whose OBP is an impressive .569, and Catherine Stynes has provided speed and acumen on the basepaths with 15 steals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hard-hitting Isla Herce is making line drive contact during 24.66% of her at-bats. Perhaps Vlad Guerrero could review Herce\u2019s approaches to shake out of his season-long power outage. Methodical Diggers\u2019 hitter London Connor knows how to work pitch counts. She induces opposing hurlers to throw 6+ pitches 22.77% of the time she\u2019s in the batter\u2019s box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defensive metrics reveal that the Diggers are terrific on both sides of the softball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only is Catcher Avery Wilson a potent hitter, valuable receiver, and on-field general, but she\u2019s also thrown out four base-stealers and picked off four baserunners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These kinds of numbers tell the story about a balanced ball club. It\u2019s evident that Pat Donevan\u2019s U15 Diggers are locked and loaded for the Canadian Championships starting July 28 and living up to their motto: \u201cOne team. One dream. Dig deep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
