Central Catholic came into Wednesday's game having lost four straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They walked away with a 10-7 victory over Nelson on Wednesday. The match marked the Rams' most dominant win of the season so far.
Jaspen Lauderback-Smith spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and five unearned) runs on 13 hits.
On the hitting side, Grace Schellinkhout was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base. Sidney Ginter also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
