Softball Recap: Edison Comes Up Short

Edison had lost three straight at home, but on Saturday they dropped down to 8-7 to make it four. They came up short against the Roosevelt Teddies, falling 24-1. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Teddies this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 10-0 last Thursday.

As for Roosevelt, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games.

For Roosevelt's part, Olivia Wohnoutka made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. Wohnoutka has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with four runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ella Lysne, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, nine RBI, and three runs. Those nine RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Lillian Bodkin, who went 3-for-4 with four runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Looking ahead, Edison will look to defend their home field on Wednesday against Brooklyn Center at 4:00 p.m. The Centaurs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 14.88 runs per game on average), something the Tommies will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Roosevelt, they have already played their next contest, an 11-4 victory against Robbinsdale Cooper on the 16th.
