We've got a battle between Wildcats coming up. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
Bloomfield made up a huge gap compared to their last game against Dexter, but they still couldn't quite topple them. Bloomfield never let Dexter get on the board and left with a 19-0 victory on Tuesday. The game was the first time the Wildcats have beaten the Bearcats on their field since April 19, 2021.
Meanwhile, Leopold got the win against Meadow Heights on Wednesday by a conclusive 25-3.
The team relied heavily on Malia VanderMierden, who went 3-for-4 with four stolen bases, six RBI, and two triples. VanderMierden is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: she's snagged at least one every time she's taken the field this season. Brenna Beussink was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI.
VanderMierden wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Leopold kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits every time they've taken the field this season.
The win made it two in a row for Bloomfield and bumps their season record up to 2-3. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.0 runs over those games. As for Leopold, their win (their first of the season) made their record 1-2.
Bloomfield might still be hurting after the 18-11 loss they got from Leopold in their previous matchup back in March of 2024. Can Bloomfield avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
