The Redmond Mustang fastpitch bats have been red-hot so far this season, and it continued last Friday night on the road against Lake Washington as the Mustangs crushed the Kangs 17-2.

Taking advantage of eight LW fielding errors, the Mustang offense was led by Christine Ho, who went 2-for-2 with a double and a triple, with Ashley Mitchell and Melissa White blasting home runs as part of a two-hit day.

On the mound, White went four innings, giving up two runs on three hits while striking out five for the win.

In their three preseason games, the Mustangs have scored 46 runs while giving up only 10.
