Lakeside couldn't beat Brunswick on Thursday even though they stacked four runs on them in the first inning. The Panthers came up short against the Pirates, falling 18-6.
MEAGHAN GEERTS was cooking despite her team's loss, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances while posting 2 RBIs, 1 run, and 3 walks.
Lakeside took the easy way to first and finished the game with seven walks. They have not posted that many walks since September 24th, when they also drew seven vs. Greenbrier.
On Brunswick's side, Lexi Howard was excellent, getting on base in all five of her plate appearances while posting 3 runs, 2 RBIs, and 1 double. The game marked Howard's third in a row with at least two RBIs. Another player making a difference was Maci Moore, who went 3-for-4 while logging 4 RBIs and 3 runs.
Lakeside has been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last 10 contests. That's left a mark on their 11-16 record this season. Admittedly, the team was facing some tough opposition over that stretch, including 4-0 Effingham County and 4-0 Greenbrier (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 83.8% over those games). Brunswick (11-18) has been on a roll lately: they've now won seven of their last nine games.
While Lakeside had to take the loss this time, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
