The Harrah Panthers have the luxury of staying home for another game and will welcome the Blanchard Lions at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Last Friday, Harrah came up short against Tecumseh and fell 6-1.
Meanwhile, Blanchard came tearing into Monday's matchup with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.8 runs) and they left with even more momentum. They were the clear victor by a 13-2 margin over the Demons. The Lions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 18 contests by seven runs or more this season.
Parker Jackson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits. What's more, she also racked up four strikeouts, the mostshe's had since back in August.
At the plate, Blanchard got a massive performance out of Quinlyn Johnson, who scored three runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3. Johnson is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now stolen at least one in the last four games she's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Finley Lockwood, who went 4-for-5 with four RBI and a triple.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Blanchard hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most two strikeouts in six consecutive games.
