Wayne proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by eight) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-1 win over the Pierce Bluejays. The Blue Devils have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Bluejays, too.
Mackenzie Nissen spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on three hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Reagan McGuire, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in September of 2024. Lilly Johnson was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run.
Wayne is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Pierce, they dropped their record down to 7-10 with the defeat, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season.
Looking ahead, Wayne will take on Freeman at 10:45 a.m. on Saturday. As for Pierce, they will venture away from home to take on Aquinas at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Monarchs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.5 runs per game on average), something the Bluejays will no doubt try to take advantage of.
