Pekin extended their losing streak to three on Saturday, dropping their season record down to 7-6 in the process. They lost 9-2 to the Glenwood Titans. The Dragons were not able to make up for their defeat to the Titans from their previous meeting back in April of 2024.
Pekin saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Alivia Harris, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one double and one RBI. Bella Benassi also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
As for Glenwood, they pushed their record up to 15-1 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.4 runs over those games.
On Glenwood's side, Irie Lohrenz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits and racked up ten Ks. Lohrenz has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Taryn Griffith was excellent, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI and one run. The team also got some help courtesy of Hope Gilmore, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs.
Coincidentally, Pekin and Glenwood will both be playing Danville the next time they take the field. The Titans will head out to face the Vikings at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, while the Dragons will play them later in the day, at 3:00 p.m.
