Nebraska City dropped down to 10-5 on Thursday, ending the team's five-game streak of wins. They fell just short of the Wahoo Warriors by a score of 7-6. If the Pioneers were looking for revenge after losing 6-2 to the Warriors when the teams met back in September of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.

Hanna Marth and Rylie Beethe did some serious damage despite the final result: Marth went 3-for-4 with four RBI, one run, and one double, while Beethe went 1-for-3 with one home run, one stolen base, and two RBI.

As for Wahoo, the win was the third in a row for them, bringing their record up to 11-5. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games.

On Wahoo's side, Emma Meyer spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits. Meyer has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Addison Gregg was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted over her last 11 matchups. The team also got some help courtesy of Karryn Eddie, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base and one run.

Coming up, Nebraska City will venture away from home to take on Beatrice at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Orangemen's pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Pioneers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Wahoo, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Douglas County West at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Warriors' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Falcon have averaged an impressive 7.7 runs per game this season.
