St. Anne had lost 23 games on the road dating back to last season, but after bumping their record up to 3-15 on Monday that streak is in the rearview. They won by a run and slipped past the Momence Momence Athletics 4-3. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 12-2 two weeks ago.
St. Anne's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Tessa DeYoung, who went 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI. Another was Alexis Hedges, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and one double.
As for Momence, their defeat was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-17. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since April 13, 2023, but that streak is no more.
On Momence's side, Emma Varnak spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on four hits and racked up ten Ks. Varnak has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
