The Biggs Wolverines will challenge the St. Bernard's Crusaders at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Biggs has nine straight wins, St. Bernard's has nine straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Last Tuesday, Biggs got the win against Mt. Shasta by a conclusive 10-4. The Wolverines might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by six runs or more this season.
Gracie Sheppard made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off ten hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double. That double was her first of the season.
