Sunlake extended their winning streak to three on Thursday, bumping them up to 6-5. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 7-6 W against the Gaither Cowboys. The Seahawks have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Cowboys, too.

Madison Siders spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered six earned runs on 11 hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Analese Lacquey and Kaylee Lively did most of the damage at the plate: Lacquey went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run, while Lively went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one run, and one RBI. That's the most hits Lacquey has posted since back in March of 2025. Another player making a difference was Abi Avant, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.

As for Gaither, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-6. Even worse, they were so close so many times: the losses came by an average of only 2.25 runs.

On Gaither's side, Taylor Ramsey and Chyann Herring stepped up to the plate in a big way. Ramsey went 3-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI, while Herring went 3-for-4 with two runs and one triple. That triple marked the first that Herring has hit this season. Lacey Giunta-Heuss was another key player, going 1-for-4 with two RBI and one run.

Looking ahead, Sunlake will challenge Cypress Creek at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The Seahawks' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Coyotes have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season. Gaither and Riverview, As for Gaither, after both having extra time off, will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field at 7:00 p.m. on the 24th. The Sharks' pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so the Cowboys' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
