Allena Lennard was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off eight hits (and not a single walk). Those eight strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That stolen base marked the first that she has snagged this season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Peyton Coykendall, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with three runs, one double, and one RBI. Another player making a difference was Ava Delancy, who went 2-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Meanwhile, Monday just wasn't the day for Perry's offense. They lost 18-0 to Hardin Northern on Monday. The loss continues a trend for the Commodores in their meetings with the Polar Bears: they've now lost three in a row.
North Baltimore is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.6 runs over those games. As for Perry, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-4.
Perry's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: North Baltimore has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .454. It's a different story for Perry, though, as they've only averaged .325. Will they be able to contain North Baltimore's hitters?
Everything went North Baltimore's way against Perry in their previous meeting back in April of 2025, as North Baltimore made off with an 11-1 win. Will the Tigers repeat their success, or do the Commodores have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
