Versailles had lost five straight on the road, but on Thursday they dropped down to 4-17 to make it six. They fell just short of the Lone Jack Mules by a score of 8-7. The Tigers were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Mules earlier this season, when they won 12-11.
As for Lone Jack, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.4 runs over those games.
For Lone Jack's part, Kaylee Felix spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and three unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up eight Ks. Felix has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Faith Throgmorton was incredible, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with one triple, two RBI, and one run. Those two RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Remmi Fender, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
As of now, neither Versailles nor Lone Jack have any future games scheduled.
