Bloomer was handed a ten-run loss in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Saturday. They won by a run and slipped past the Byron Bears 4-3. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Blackhawks have posted since May 6, 2025.
Eleasha Kuehl was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one triple and two RBI. That triple was her first of the season.
Kuehl wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Lily Pahulu, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base and one run. Aubrey Tarnowski also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
The win got Bloomer back to even at 2-2.

As for Byron, they will venture away from home to square off against Pine Island at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. This will be the Bears' first chance to prove their worth in the conference.
