Western Reserve extended their losing streak to nine on Monday, dropping their season record down to 1-10 in the process. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost an 11-10 heartbreaker at the hands of the McKinley Trojans. The Blue Devils were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Trojans apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Sophia Reigle was cooking despite her team's loss, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Another player making a difference was Mikayla Salovich, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs.
McKinley's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-7. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
On McKinley's side, the team relied heavily on Bella Threet, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with five stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. With that strong performance, Threet is now averaging an impressive 1.3 stolen bases per game. Ava Coen also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
While Western Reserve had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
