Nickerson gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 8-7 victory over the Trinity Celtics.
Lily Chapman spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered six earned (and one unearned) runs on 11 hits and racked up nine Ks. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in April of 2024.
On the hitting side, Shalie Powell was incredible, going 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one double. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2024. Mayci Terhune was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3.
Nickerson will have a chance to go back-to-back against Trinity: the pair will be back at it again later today.
