Jackie Lis came through with the biggest hit of the afternoon on Saturday when she lined a walk-off RBI single to right-center field to lift the Texas Volts to a 4-3 victory over the Carolina Blaze at Dell Diamond.
With the game tied entering the bottom of the seventh, Rylie Boone opened the inning with a single before moving into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt. After Dejah Mulipola was intentionally walked, Lis ripped a base hit into the gap to score Boone and seal Texas’ second straight walk-off win.
The Blaze built an early 3-0 lead in the second inning when Reese Atwood launched a three-run home run for her seventh of the season. Texas chipped away with a run in the fifth before Rachel Garcia tied the game in the sixth with a two-run double that brought Mulipola and Lis across the plate.
Lis reached base three times in the win, and finished with two hits, a walk and the game-winning RBI. Boone also collected two hits and scored twice, while Mulipola added two hits for the Volts.
Ally Carda turned in a season-high 6.0 innings in the circle, allowing three unearned runs before Aliyah Binford recorded a scoreless seventh to earn the victory.
