After losing to Oakdale the last time they met, Greenback decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Cherokees sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over the Eagles on Thursday. That's two games straight that the Cherokees have won by just one run.
Kendi Brooks spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on five hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Karli Hammontree was excellent, going 2-for-3 with two doubles. The team also got some help courtesy of Emma Anderson, who went 1-for-4 with two RBI and one run.
The win made it two in a row for Greenback and bumps their season record up to 5-6. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of one runs across that stretch. As for Oakdale, their defeat was their first of the season and makes their record 12-1.
