Roseville extended their losing streak to six on Monday, dropping their season record down to 5-16 in the process. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 4-3 heartbreaker at the hands of the Woodbury Royals. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Royals this season, with their most recent loss being a 9-5 defeat back in April.
As for Woodbury, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.3 runs over those games.
For Woodbury's part, Kate Rapp made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. Rapp has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.
Rapp wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Natalie Meeder, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one double. Another was Izzy Zebro, who went 2-for-3 with one run.
As of now, neither Roseville nor Woodbury have any future games scheduled.
