Jessica Campbell made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in April. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one triple.
Campbell wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Cali D'Amour, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run. D'Amour is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.
The home team had won the previous two meetings between Gladstone and Menominee, and Gladstone kept the tradition alive. The Braves never let the Maroons get on the board and left with a 15-0 win on Friday. Considering the Braves have won 18 games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Gladstone pushed their record up to 26-3 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.0 runs on average over those games. As for Grayling, their record now sits at 19-6-1.
Grayling couldn't quite finish off Gladstone when the teams last played back in June of 2024 and fell 2-0. Can the Vikings avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
