Winning always takes teamwork, but on Saturday Daphanie Heckel stepped things up a notch to give Thurston the 'W'. Heckel was dialed in and scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. She played a big game the last time she faced Ashland, so the team probably should've seen her coming.
Heckel's strong effort led Thurston over Ashland and she'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. Thurston is 9-0 against Ashland going back to April of 2019, a lead they'll look to extend.
