Greensburg Central Catholic had lost five straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Wednesday they dropped their record down to 0-3 to make it six. They fell 4-1 to the Jeannette Jayhawks. The Centurions were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Jayhawks apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2022.
As for Jeannette, the victory (which was their fifth in a row) raised their record to 7-3. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.4 runs over those games.
For Jeannette's part, Grace Stein was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 18 over seven innings pitched. Stein has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Abby Shaw was excellent, going 1-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.
While Greensburg Central Catholic had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
