Seward had lost three games on the road, but after bumping their record up to 10-13 on Thursday that streak is in the rearview. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Lakeview Vikings, sneaking past 4-3. This was a revenge game for the Bluejays: when they faced off against the Vikings last Monday, they had to take a 11-3 loss.
As for Lakeview, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-7. Admittedly, the team was facing some tough opposition over that stretch, including 21-5 Crete (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 62.1% over those games).
For Lakeview's part, Cali Bentz spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on four hits and racked up 11 Ks. Bentz has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 18 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Julia Long was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two RBI, and one double. She also scored a run, marking her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Sydney Spohn, who went 1-for-2 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Seward will be staying on the road on Thursday to face off against Crete at 12:00 p.m. The Cardinals' pitching crew has only allowed three runs per game this season, so the Bluejays' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Lakeview, their homestand will continue as they prepare to take on Adams Central at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.
