Manchester had lost three games at home, but after bumping their record up to 11-11 on Thursday that streak is in the rearview. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Lewis Cass Kings, sneaking past 3-2. That's more bragging rights for the Squires, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Molly Schannep spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on four hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Manchester's win was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Hadley West, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base and one run.

As for Lewis Cass, their defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 6-10. Having soared to a lofty ten runs in the game before, they couldn't push the score so high this time.

On Lewis Cass' side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Ruth (Amma) Fitzhugh gave up three runs (all of which were unearned) on six hits and racked up nine Ks.

Coming up, Manchester will take on Homestead in a tournament on Saturday. The Squires' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Spartans have averaged an impressive 8 runs per game this season. As for Lewis Cass, they will square off against Delphi Community at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.
