Benton Harbor had lost 11 straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Thursday they dropped down to 0-5 to make it 12. They came up short against the Berrien Springs Shamrocks, falling 20-0. The Tigers were not able to make up for their loss to the Shamrocks from their previous meeting back in April of 2025.
Berrien Springs' first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-2. Considering their hitters had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.
For Berrien Springs' part, Olivia Spenner was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Spenner was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and one stolen base. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2025.
In other batting news, Addison Wattles was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three stolen bases, five RBI, and three runs. Isabel Hoover was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
While Benton Harbor 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.
