Etna extended their losing streak to four on Friday, dropping their season record down to 17-9 in the process. They fell 8-3 to the Modoc Braves. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Braves this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 3-2 on Friday.
Molly Harris spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and four unearned) runs on five hits and racked up seven Ks.
On the hitting side, Etna saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Bailey Johnson, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
As for Modoc, the win was the sixth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 12-9. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games.
On Modoc's side, Caelli DePaul made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run over 6.2 innings pitched. DePaul has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two runs and one triple.
In other batting news, Ashlynn Albright and Madelyn Moltzen did most of the damage at the plate: Albright went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI, while Moltzen went a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. That triple was Albright's first of the season. Another player making a difference was Ella Battram, who got on base in two of her three plate appearances with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
As of now, neither Etna nor Modoc have any future games scheduled.
