Huron and Flat Rock are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2022, but likely not for long. The Chiefs will head out to face off against the Rams at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a four-game winning streak alive.
The home team had come away the winner the last four times Huron and Woodhaven had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Chiefs put the hurt on the Warriors with a sharp 14-6 win on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Chiefs, who have now won five contests by eight runs or more so far this season.
Madison Kuzara made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing seven innings while giving up just two earned (and four unearned) runs off eight hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-6 with four stolen bases and two runs.
