Waterloo is preparing for their first conference matchup of the season on Wednesday. They are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game of the season: they will face off against the Memorial Red Devils at 5:00 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Waterloo is leaving town to face Memorial after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Waterloo fell just short of Newton Falls by a score of 5-4 on Monday. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it four in a row.
Meanwhile, Memorial came up short against Harding on Tuesday and fell 8-5.
Ramani Adams was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up three earned (and three unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). Adams was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played.
In other batting news, Abby Broz made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Emily Cleland, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two RBI.
