Winamac is on a seven-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Rochester is on a seven-game streak of away wins (also dating back to last season): one of those streaks is about to end. The Warriors will host the Zebras at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Winamac is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They blew past Rensselaer Central 18-7 on Monday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Brooke Rausch and Adrianna Hall were a major factor no matter where they played. Throwing, Rausch tossed four innings while giving up just two earned (and five unearned) runs off five hits. Meanwhile, Hall pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Rausch has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. At the plate, Rausch scored two runs while going 2-for-5, while Hall went 3-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those three hits gave Hall a new career-high.
