It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Waverly ultimately got the result they hoped for on Thursday. They walked away with a 7-3 win over the Holt Rams. While the Warriors didn't have the best season last year (they finished 11-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Nevaeh Larner spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on ten hits and racked up seven Ks.
At the plate, Waverly got a big performance out of Sydney Sutton, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, one run, and one double. Another player making a difference was McKenna Bensinger, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
