There's no place like home for Red Bud, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They blew past the Wesclin Warriors 16-2 on Thursday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Musketeers considering their one-run performance the contest before.
Julia Ohlau was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April.
In other batting news, Olivia Schmidt was a standout: she went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Julia Whelan, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple.
Red Bud always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .611. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wesclin only posted an OBP of .250.
