Rutland gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They walked away with a 10-7 victory over the Northside Eagles. For the Hurricanes, this counts as revenge for the 8-7 loss the Eagles walked away with the last time they faced one another back in August of 2022.
The team relied heavily on Adrianna Kadian, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Autumn Newberry, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Rutland always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Northside only posted an OBP of .389.
Northside is on a 12-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-3.
