Dodgeville lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Iowa-Grant, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Friday's matchup. The Dodgers' pitchers stepped up to hand the Panthers a 13-0 shutout on Friday. This was payback for the Dodgers, who suffered a 7-5 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Lily Weigel and Ava Lord were major factors while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Weigel pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Lord didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances. At bat, Weigel went 1-for-2 with one run and one RBI, while Lord went 1-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kayla Brom, who went 2-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. Tommi Crubaugh also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Dodgeville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 11 hits in three consecutive contests.
