There's no place like home for Winfield, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They put the hurt on the Fort Zumwalt South Bulldogs with a sharp 12-2 victory on Monday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Warriors considering their two-run performance the matchup before.
Maci Knowles tossed a big game, striking out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits (and only one walk).
On the hitting side, Isabel Reinebach was incredible, scoring four runs and stealing two bases while going 3-for-3. That's the most hits she has posted since back in September of 2023. The team also got some help courtesy of Claire Shoemake, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Winfield always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .576. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Fort Zumwalt South only posted an OBP of .211.
The win got Winfield back to even at 1-1.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Winfield will welcome St. Charles West at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Fort Zumwalt South, they will host Fort Zumwalt East at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
