Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Plainwell). They put the hurt on the Galesburg-Augusta Rams with a sharp 17-7 victory on Thursday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Trojans also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.
Samantha McDaniel was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over six innings while giving up four earned (and three unearned) runs off nine hits. That's the most strikeouts she has posted over her last 11 matches. She was even better at the plate, going 4-for-5 with six RBI, four runs, and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Sophie Munch, who went 4-for-5 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Madison Seibert, who went 2-for-4 with four runs, one stolen base, and one double.
Plainwell was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .417. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in four consecutive contests.
The win snapped Plainwell's losing streak at four games and leaves them with a 9-24 record. As for Galesburg-Augusta, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-14.
Plainwell will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Rams: the pair will be back at it again later today.
