Harrison Central fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Buckeye Local on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Panthers by a score of 6-5. The Huskies were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Panthers apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
Mikayla Pelegreen was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: she struck out eight batters over 4.2 innings while giving up four earned runs off seven hits (and not a single walk). Furthermore, she didn't allow a single walk, the first time she has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2024.
At the plate, Kara Blackburn was cooking despite her team's loss, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, one triple, and two RBI. That triple marked the first that she hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Kailey Banal, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
