Kate Murray made a big impact no matter where she played. She pitched seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI. That double marked the first that she hit this season.

Murray wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Hailey Kinder, who scored a run while going 2-for-3. Brooke Clayton also deserves some recognition as she scored her first run of the season.

Meanwhile, Noblesville sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 win over Western Boone last Thursday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Millers.

Emme Yee spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Reese Newsom, who fired off two home runs while going 2-for-3. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. Addi Emmerson was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-2.

Noblesville pushed their record up to 2-0 with the victory, which was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for Fishers, their record now sits at 3-1.

Fishers suffered a grim 18-5 defeat to Noblesville in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. Can the Tigers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
