Cleveland had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. Their tough 25-0 loss to the Roosevelt Roughriders on Tuesday might stick with them for a while. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Cleveland in their matchups with Roosevelt: they've now lost six in a row.
For Roosevelt's part, Leah Abraham and Gretchen Harder made a splash no matter where they played. On the mound, Abraham pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (she also only allowed one walk). Meanwhile, Harder pitched an inning while giving up no earned runs or hits (she also didn't allow any walks). Abraham has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances. At bat, Abraham went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple, while Harder scored two runs while going 3-for-4.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Anna Davis, who went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, and two runs. Another player making a difference was Janie Goodnow, who went 1-for-1 with a home run and three RBI.
