The scorekeeper got an easy start on Saturday as neither Tuscola nor Salt Fork made it on the board until the fifth inning. The Warriors fell just short of the Storm by a score of 3-1. The Warriors were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Storm apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2023.
Kinzie Cleland spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on seven hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Allison Pettry was cooking despite her team's loss, going 3-for-4 with one triple and one RBI. Ava Boyer was another key player, going 1-for-2 with three stolen bases and one double.
Tuscola has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 15-12 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.3 runs over those games. As for Salt Fork, the win was the fifth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 24-4.
As of now, neither Tuscola nor the Storm have any future games scheduled.
