Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Berrien Springs). They never let the Benton Harbor Tigers get on the board and left with a 15-0 win on Wednesday. The victory continues a trend for the Shamrocks in their matchups with the Tigers: they've now won five in a row.
Olivia Spenner was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in both of her plate appearances. Those stolen bases were her first of the season.
In other batting news, Berrien Springs got a massive performance out of Hayden Wagner, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2. Those stolen bases marked the first that Wagner snagged this season. Isabel Hoover was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-2.
Berrien Springs always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .955. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Berrien Springs picked up their first home win, bumping their record up to 3-5.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: the Shamrocks beat Benton Harbor by a score of 18-3 later that day.
