It may have taken ten innings to finish the job, but Kamiak ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They had just enough and edged out the Jackson Timberwolves 7-6. Seven seems to be a good number for the Knights as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Synclair Mawudeku was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 11 batters over ten innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off 14 hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4. What's more, she posted two doubles, the most she's had since back in May of 2024.
In other batting news, Tyler Karabach was excellent, scoring a run while going 2-for-5. Gabby Veighey was another key player, going 1-for-5 with one triple and two RBI.
