The home team had come away the winner the last four times Lisle and Herscher had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Lions fell 12-9 to the Tigers on Wednesday. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Tigers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 12-5 last Tuesday.
Katelyn Bieniasz made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Rachel Yarbrough, who scored a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Lisle's defeat dropped their record down to 3-2. As for Herscher, the victory (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 8-2.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Lisle will host St. Edward at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. As for Herscher, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Iroquois West at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Raiders have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.5 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
