Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Duluth). They walked away with a 9-4 win over the Norcross Blue Devils on Tuesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Wildcats with their most commanding win of the season.
Kaylie Zirger made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she tossed seven innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. Zirger was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. That double was her first of the season.
In other batting news, Chayanne Mitchell and Kenzie Dopp did most of the damage at the plate: Mitchell got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run and one RBI, while Dopp earned three RBI and two runs. That's the most runs Dopp has posted since back in September of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Kate Camarena, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and one run.
