The Inglemoor Vikings will head out on the road to challenge the North Creek Jaguars at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Inglemoor is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10 runs per game this season.
Inglemoor couldn't beat Eastlake on Tuesday even though they stacked four runs on them in the fifth inning. The Vikings fell just short of the Wolves by a score of 8-7. The Vikings haven't had much luck with the Wolves recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.
Izzy Vannoy (2028) and Alexa Saladin (2025) (PLU) stepped up to the plate in a big way. Vannoy (2028) went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double, while Saladin (2025) (PLU) went 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Kiera Pritchard (2026), who went 2-for-3 with two runs.
Meanwhile, it may have taken nine innings to finish the job, but North Creek ultimately got the result they hoped for on Wednesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over Cedarcrest. The win was nothing new for the Jaguars as they're now sitting on five straight.
Reagan Fleming spent all nine innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on five hits and racked up 19 Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Addy Cook was excellent, going 2-for-4 with one home run.
North Creek pushed their record up to 19-1 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games. As for Inglemoor, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-6-1.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Friday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Inglemoor has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like North Creek struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 9.8 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
