The Putnam Clippers will take on the Ledyard Colonels at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Putnam is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 11.8 runs per game this season.
Putnam managed to slip by Windham the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Clippers came up short against the Whippets on Thursday, falling 7-1. Having soared to a lofty 21 runs in the game before, the Clippers couldn't push the score so high this time.
Putnam saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Avah Grimshaw, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base.
Meanwhile, Ledyard entered their tilt with Stonington on Thursday with three consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with four. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Bears 4-2. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Colonels have posted since April 10th.
Alexia Lemmon made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off seven hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
In other batting news, Julia Bonser was excellent, going 3-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to hits, as she's now got three or more in each of the last three games she's played. Mia Starling was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base.
Ledyard pushed their record up to 10-2 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.7 runs over those games. As for Putnam, the loss snapped their winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 5-5 record.
Putnam might still be hurting after the 14-0 defeat they got from Ledyard in their previous matchup back in May of 2018. Will the Clippers have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
