Badger took a seven-run defeat the last time they faced off against Wilmot, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Badgers had just enough and edged out the Panthers 4-2. While the Badgers didn't have the best season last year (they finished 5-18), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Miah Butinas made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 13 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off six hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two triples, three RBI, and one run.
Butinas wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Louise Blakeley, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
Badger's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-3. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Wilmot, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-10.
Badger will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Panthers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
