Holyoke extended their losing streak to five on Wednesday, dropping their season record down to 4-11 in the process. They lost 10-3 to the Ludlow Lions. If the Purple Knights were looking for revenge after losing 18-5 to the Lions when the teams met back in April of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.

As for Ludlow, their record is now 8-9. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won six contests by six runs or more so far this season.
On Ludlow's side, Liv Slatton made a splash while hitting and pitching. She struck out 15 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. Those 15 strikeouts gave Slatton a new career-high. She was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs and three RBI while going 2-for-4.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Caitlyn Peczka, who went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. Liberty Carlson also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
Looking ahead, Holyoke will welcome Sabis International at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Ludlow has already played their next game (against Monson), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
