Winnetonka extended their losing streak to three on Wednesday, dropping their season record down to 6-10 in the process. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 5-4 heartbreaker at the hands of the Grandview Bulldogs. The Griffins were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Bulldogs apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
As for Grandview, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-8-2 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.6 runs over those games.
For Grandview's part, Ethan Terry spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on seven hits.
At the plate, Jayveon Jacobs and Tyler Ransom did most of the damage at the plate: Jacobs went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases and two runs, while Ransom went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run. That's the most hits Ransom has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Jackson Ransom, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Winnetonka will welcome Lutheran North at 10:00 a.m. on Friday. As for Grandview, they will challenge Ruskin at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
