There's no place like home for Lowry, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They came out on top against the Spring Creek Spartans on Friday by a score of 7-6 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). The win continues a trend for the Buckaroos in their matchups with the Spartans: they've now won five in a row.
Makinley Hislop spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and two unearned) runs on 11 hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.

Entwistle wasn't the only one making solid contact: Lowry kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in four consecutive contests.
