If Northwest was feeling good off their 23-15 takedown of Purcell Marian last Wednesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Northwest Knights suffered a rough 14-2 defeat at the hands of the Cincinnati Christian Cougars on Saturday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Northwest of the 8-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2016.
For Cincinnati Christian's part, Kelsey Stacy was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. Stacy was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two RBI.
In other batting news, Anna Bowling was a standout: she scored two runs while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances. Reese Green was another key contributor, going 1-for-2 with four RBI and a run.
Northwest now has a losing record at 1-2.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Cincinnati Christian beat Northwest by a score of 16-6 later that day.
