After losing to Medina the last time they met, Ellet decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Orangemen came out on top against the Battling Bees by a score of 9-6 on Monday. The win was nothing new for the Orangemen as they're now sitting on nine straight.
Rylie Sprouse spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and three unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Grace Norman, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, one double, and one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Keyli Myers, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Ellet kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in nine consecutive games.
Ellet's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-3. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.8 runs over those games. As for Medina, the defeat snapped their winning streak at four games and leaves them with a 7-6 record.
Looking ahead, Ellet will host Nordonia at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
