After flying high against Touchet on Wednesday, Pomeroy came back down to earth. The Pirates fell just short of the Wilbur-Creston-Keller Wildcats by a score of 7-6 on Saturday.
Emma Phelps put in work no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out six over 5.2 innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-low in walks (zero). She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
Phelps wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Caroline McKeirnan, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. Another was Kendyll Potoshnik, who went 1-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Pomeroy has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost nine of their last 12 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-11 record this season. Wilbur-Creston-Keller's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-2.
While Pomeroy had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
