Waseca had lost three straight on the road, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 3-7-1 to make it four. They came up short against the St. Peter Saints, falling 11-1. The Bluejays were not able to make up for their loss to the Saints from their previous meeting back in April of 2024.
As for St. Peter, they now have a winning record of 8-7. The matchup marked their most dominant victory of the season.
For St. Peter's part, Auden Anderson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). Anderson has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 14 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one double. That triple was her first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ashley Liebl, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base. She 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. Allie Dent was another key player, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run.
Looking ahead, Waseca will take on Blue Earth at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Buccaneers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.89 runs per game on average), something the Bluejays will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for St. Peter, they will host Albert Lea at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Tigers will roll in looking for their fifth straight win, something the Saints surely won't give up without a fight.
