Mapletown had lost three straight on the road, but on Monday they dropped down to 1-8 to make it four. They lost 15-0 to the Carmichaels Mighty Mikes. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Mighty Mikes this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 11-0 two weeks ago.
As for Carmichaels, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games.
For Carmichaels' part, Bailey Barnyak was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Barnyak has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run and three RBI. She also scored a run, marking her first of the season.
In other batting news, Carmichaels let Lily Sisler and Ke'Lani Chun run wild. Sisler went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run and four RBI, while Chun went 2-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That triple was Chun's first of the season. Another player making a difference was Payton Plavi, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with two runs.
