Harrisburg waltzed into their contest on Tuesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. Everything went their way against the Brookings Bobcats as they made off with a 12-6 victory. 12 seems to be a good number for the Tigers as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Kylie Visker spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned (and one unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up 11 Ks. Those 11 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.
At the plate, Harrisburg got a massive performance out of Ava Gross, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one double. That's the most runs Gross has posted since back in May of 2024. Another player making a difference was Madelyn Ducheneaux, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Harrisburg kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits every time they've taken the field this season.
