Macie Banks spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered six earned (and one unearned) runs on 11 hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Kyriana Grahn was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. She also hit a double, marking her first of the season. Kaylie Scott was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and one run.
Meanwhile, while Norwayne put up some runs on Saturday, the same can't be said for Lexington. The Bobcats came out on top against the Minutemen by a score of 5-0.
Abby Workman made a big impact no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out ten over seven innings pitched. Workman was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in May of 2025.
