While Greenville didn't have the best season last year (they finished 7-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They walked away with a 7-2 win over the Lakeview Wildcats on Friday. The victory was familiar territory for the Yellow Jackets, who have now won three matchups in a row.
Emily Rice was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out ten over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 1-for-4.
In other batting news, Drew Galey and Cam Klco did most of the damage at the plate: Galey scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3, while Klco went 2-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one RBI. Klco is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Aubrie Uebele was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.
