Monroe took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Garinger Wildcats with a sharp 37-25 win. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Redhawks as it put an end to their 17-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Kadie Martinez was a standout: she scored six runs and stole four bases while getting on base in all six of her plate appearances. Those six runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Vania Stevenson, who got on base in five of her six plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and four RBI.
Monroe always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .887. Their OBP was a full 0 higher than the also-impressive .536 that Garinger posted.
Garinger's defeat dropped their record down to 0-2.
Coming up, Monroe will hit the road for the first time this season to face off against Hickory Grove Christian at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Garinger has already played their next game (against Berry), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
