The Monticello Ponies will take on the Johnson Creek Bluejays at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The two teams are strolling into their games after big wins in their previous games.
Monticello is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on April 4th. Their pitchers stepped up to hand Belleville an 11-0 shutout. The Ponies have beaten the Wildcats the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Wildcats has come to flipping the script.
Meanwhile, Johnson Creek came tearing into Thursday's match with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Bulldogs with a sharp 10-0 victory. Considering the Bluejays have won five contests by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Not much got past Hailee Walk, who gave up just four hits and racked up seven Ks to keep Williams Bay off the board. Walk has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single walk in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Madi Brigowatz, who went 3-for-5 with three runs, two doubles, and one triple. That's the most doubles she has posted over her last 11 games. Lainey Benz was another key player, getting on base in two of her five plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
Monticello might still be hurting after the 15-0 loss they got from Johnson Creek when the teams last played back in May of 2017. Will the Ponies have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
