Waynedale extended their winning streak to five on Wednesday, bumping their season record up to 10-10 in the process. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Rittman Indians, sneaking past 5-3. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Golden Bears also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.

Madi Miller was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three stolen bases, three runs, and one double. She has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last five times she's played.

As for Rittman, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost 11 of their last 13 matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-16 record this season. The loss was just more heartbreak for they who fell 6-4 when the teams previously met back in April of 2024.

On Rittman's side, Lillian Halliwell spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and three unearned) runs on seven hits.

At the plate, Rittman saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Allison Hollabaugh, who went 1-for-4 with one double. Another was Ariel Daughtery, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one RBI.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Waynedale will head out to take on Hillsdale at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Golden Bears are facing the Falcons at the right time seeing as the Falcons are stuck on a three-game losing streak. As for Rittman, they will challenge Woodridge at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
