Josie Fiala was cooking despite her team's loss, going 3-for-5 with four stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Another player making a difference was Olivia Lowell, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
Meanwhile, North Creek came tearing into Monday's match with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They blew past the Knights 11-4. Considering the Jaguars have won ten contests by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Reagan Fleming spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up seven Ks.
At the plate, North Creek got a massive performance out of Emma Gochenour, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most runs Gochenour has posted since back in April of 2024. Carolyn Conway was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with three RBI and one triple.
North Creek hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Newport - Bellevue struck out seven times.
North Creek's victory was their seventh straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 18-1. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Cedarcrest, their loss dropped their record down to 6-9-1.
Wednesday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Cedarcrest has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .448. However, it's not like North Creek struggles in that department as they've averaged .492. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Cedarcrest might still be hurting after the 10-0 defeat they got from North Creek in their previous meeting on April 2nd. Will the Red Wolves have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
