Hailey Hart Game Report: @ Benzie Central

Onekama was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Hailey Hart did her best to prevent it. Hart turned in nothing short of a gem, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time she's pitched this season.

Even though Hart couldn't lead Onekama over Benzie Central, she won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Despite Hart's best efforts to the contrary, the Portagers will head into their next match having dropped five straight contests. Will Friday be the turning point?
