Wakeland had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Rockwall on Thursday. The Wolverines' pitchers stepped up to hand the Yellowjackets an 11-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Wolverines, who have now won four contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Jordan Mcnees looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over four innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Lauren McIllwain was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three stolen bases, and five RBI. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 1.2 stolen bases per game. Another player making a difference was Ella Faris, who went 1-for-2 with three RBI and one double.
Wakeland always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .556. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Rockwall only posted an OBP of .111.
