Fruitport waltzed into their matchup on Wednesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. Everything went their way against the Wyoming Wolves as they made off with a 15-1 win. The Trojans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 games by 11 runs or more this season.

Brooklyn Russell was a major factor no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three runs and three RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in May of 2024.

In other batting news, Fruitport let Kendall Lee and Madyson Prout run wild. Lee went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base, while Prout got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs and two RBI. Lee has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played. Kalli Tawney was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.

Fruitport kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in six consecutive contests.

Fruitport's victory was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 13-1. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.3 runs over those games. As for Wyoming, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last nine matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-12 record this season.

Fruitport will have a chance to go back-to-back against Wyoming: the pair will be back at it again later today.
