Princeton had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They put the hurt on the King City Wildkats with a sharp 17-8 win on Tuesday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Tigers also won the last time the pair played back in August of 2023.
Kelsey Goodin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and six unearned) runs on eight hits.
At the plate, Riley Clark was a standout: she scored three runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-5. Another player making a difference was Addy Henke, who went 4-for-6 with a home run, two runs, and a double.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Princeton was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .421. The last time their batting average was this high was back in August of 2023.
