As for Grant, the victory (which was their fifth in a row) raised their record to 15-3. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.4 runs over those games.
For Grant's part, Payton Shoemaker made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out 11 over seven innings pitched. Those 11 strikeouts gave Shoemaker a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in two of her four plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kaylin Hawes, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Danica Gee also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
While Reed City had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
