Rochester won the last time they faced Wabash and things went their way on Thursday too. The Zebras blew past the Apaches 8-2. The Zebras might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matches by six runs or more this season.

Bria Rensberger made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 15 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and one double.

In other batting news, Aubrey Wilson was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs and one stolen base. That's the most hits she has posted over her last 11 games. Another player making a difference was Brailyn Hunter, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.

Rochester always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wabash only posted an OBP of .231.

Rochester has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.4 runs on average over those games. As for Wabash, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-9.

Looking ahead, Rochester will look to defend their home field on Friday against Tippecanoe Valley at 5:30 p.m. The Vikings will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something the Zebras surely won't give up without a fight. As for Wabash, they will host Elwood at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The Apaches' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Panthers have averaged an impressive 7.9 runs per game this season.
