If Marquette was feeling good fresh off their 15-0 takedown of Menominee on Wednesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Sentinels fell 11-6 to the Kingsford Flivvers on Thursday. The Sentinels were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Flivvers earlier this season, when they won 16-9.
Charlye Swajanen was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up four earned (and seven unearned) runs off seven hits. Swajanen was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one triple and two RBI. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season.
Swajanen wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Keira Lindberg, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
Marquette has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 17-13 record this season. As for Kingsford, they now have a winning record of 9-8.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: the Flivvers beat Marquette by a score of 19-4 later that day.
