The Las Plumas Thunderbirds will challenge the Nevada Union Miners at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Las Plumas has five straight victories, Nevada Union has five straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
On Tuesday, Las Plumas made easy work of Durham and carried off a 12-1 win. The Thunderbirds might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by nine runs or more this season.
Kendal Headley spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up eight Ks. That's the fewest hits she has allowed since back in April of 2024.
