Tatum Shelton was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only a hit while striking out 11 over four innings pitched. Those 11 strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with two RBI and one double.
In other batting news, Ava Wheeley was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Anna Thomas, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-4.
Southeast Alamance was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Northwood only posted a batting average of .111.
Meanwhile, Orange had to kick off their season on the road on Wednesday, but they showed no ill effects. They were the clear victor by a 10-1 margin over South Granville.
Addison Guentensberger spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on three hits. That's the fewest earned runs she has allowed since back in April of 2024.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Katie Carden, who fired off two home runs, six RBI, and one stolen base while going 4-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Allie Carden, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one triple.
Southeast Alamance might still be hurting after the 18-6 loss they got from Orange in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. Can Southeast Alamance avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
