The Scotland/Menno Trappers are taking a road trip to square off against the Avon Pirates at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Monday, Scotland/Menno didn't have quite enough to beat Bon Homme and fell 11-10.
Amanda Rames was cooking despite her team's loss, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles. Another player making a difference was Trinity Bietz, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Avon). They put the hurt on Wagner with a sharp 16-4 win on Saturday. The Pirates haven't had any issues with the Red Raiders recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.
Macy Voigt made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up four earned runs off five hits. Voigt was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, Avon let Pria Sessler and Rilyn Thury run wild. Sessler got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, four RBI, and two runs, while Thury scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Kaydence Metzger, who scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Avon was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .444. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wagner only posted a batting average of .211.
Everything went Scotland/Menno's way against Avon when the teams last played back in April of 2024, as Scotland/Menno made off with a 9-3 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Trappers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
