Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Zanesville). They had just enough and edged out the Northridge Vikings 5-4. This was payback for the Blue Devils, who suffered a 24-2 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Katie Brooks was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Brooks was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ayawna Gladden, who went 1-for-2 with three stolen bases and one run. Those three stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Achaia Walker was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
Zanesville's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-14. As for Northridge, they are on an 11-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-13.
Looking ahead, Zanesville will head out to square off against Fort Frye at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for Northridge, they will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Utica at 5:30 p.m. The Redskins have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.18 runs per game on average), something the Vikings will no doubt try to take advantage of.
