Karns City waltzed into their matchup on Friday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 4-3 W against the Mercer Mustangs. This was payback for the Gremlins, who suffered a 5-2 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Addison Burrows made a big impact no matter where she played. She struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while going 3-for-3.
Burrows wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Nicole Huff, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one RBI. Huff has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played.
Karns City's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-4. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Mercer, they moved to 4-2 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
