Durand had lost four straight at home, but on Tuesday they dropped their record down to 6-8 to make it five. They fell just short of the Ovid-Elsie Marauders by a score of 5-3. The Railroaders were not able to make up for their defeat to the Marauders from their previous meeting back in April of 2024.
Durand saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was MaKenzie Jones, who went 2-for-3 with two runs.
As for Ovid-Elsie, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-16-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games.
On Ovid-Elsie's side, Audrie VanDeusen spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits and racked up seven Ks. VanDeusen has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
While Durand had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
