On Saturday, the Linn Wildcats sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 win over the Mexico Bulldogs. The three-run effort marked the Wildcats' lowest-scoring contest of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Sophia Voss spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't pitched less than five innings in three consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Linn saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Elli Dudenhoeffer, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
The victory made it two in a row for Linn and bumps their season record up to 4-1.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Linn's road trip will continue as they head out to face Belle at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Linn's pitching crew has only allowed three runs per game this season, so Belle's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Mexico, they will take on Marshall at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
