Beecher put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their perfect season alive. They beat the Wilmington Wildcats by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 6-1. The Bobcats have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Wildcats, too.
Taylor Norkus spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on five hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Elena Kvasnicka, who went 3-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Allie Johnson was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one run and one RBI.
Beecher hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in ten consecutive matchups.
Beecher's victory was their 19th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 19-0. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they've averaged 9.3 runs this season. As for Wilmington, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-5 record this season.
Beecher's homestand will continue as they prepare to take on Kewanee at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Bobcats' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Boilermakers have averaged an impressive 6.9 runs per game this season. Wilmington has already played their next game (against St. Anne), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
