It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Edwards County ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They had just enough and edged out the Robinson Maroons 8-6. That's two games straight that the Lions have won by exactly two runs.
Allison Groff spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and three unearned) runs on nine hits.
At the plate, Grace Bishop was incredible, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Kyndal Richards also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
