The Orange Lions will head out on the road to challenge the Madison Blue Streaks at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
Orange can't be too happy about their upcoming road game considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Monday. They fell just short of Cardinal by a score of 13-11. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it six in a row.
Halle Arnold made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Sarah Korland, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances.
Meanwhile, it may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Madison ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They walked away with a 6-2 win over Jefferson Area. The victory was just business as usual for the Blue Streaks, who after three games remain undefeated this season.
Kara Mekulsia spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on six hits and racked up 15 Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Ally Negin was excellent, scoring a run while going 3-for-5. Gianna LaMarco was another key player, scoring three runs while going 1-for-4.
Madison kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in four consecutive contests dating back to last season.
