Grafton had lost four straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Friday they dropped their record down to 2-6 to make it five. They lost 10-2 to the York Falcons. The Clippers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Falcons apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
Grafton saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Alexis Henley, who went 2-for-3 with one run.
As for York, the win (which was their fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-3. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.3 runs over those games.
On York's side, Sarah Witt was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off ten hits. Witt was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Leslee Maldonado was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. Maldonado is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: she's snagged at least one every time she's taken the field this season. Karley Estrada also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Grafton will take on Jamestown at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As for York, they will challenge Warhill at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Lions' pitching crew has only allowed 2.9 runs per game this season, so the Falcons' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
