After flying high against Dundee-Crown last Monday, McHenry came back down to earth. The Warriors took a 6-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Central Rockets on Wednesday. The Warriors were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Rockets apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.

McHenry saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Danica McCarthy, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4. Lyla Oeffling also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

McHenry has been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-7 record this season. As for Central, the win snapped their losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 5-6 record.
