Whitko had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Wabash on Wednesday. The Wildcats put the hurt on the Apaches with a sharp 9-1 victory. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by seven runs or more this season.
Addie Garr spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up 16 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Whitko let Addison Patrick and Sophie Keener run wild. Patrick went 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI, while Keener went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. Those two runs gave Patrick a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Taylor Long, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one double.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Whitko kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wabash only managed four hits.
Whitko has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average over those games. As for Wabash, they now have a losing record of 9-10.
