Allegan extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to six on Thursday, dropping their season record down to 0-5 in the process. They lost 17-0 to the Watervliet Panthers. If the Tigers were looking for revenge after losing 15-0 to the Panthers when the teams met back in April of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Watervliet, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 4-2. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by 15 runs or more this season.
For Watervliet's part, Emma Kirksey made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Kirksey was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.
In other batting news, Watervliet got a massive performance out of Leila Liberto-Taylor, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. Liberto-Taylor is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: she's snagged at least one every time she's taken the field this season. Another player making a difference was Kaylee Bartee, who went 2-for-3 with four runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
While Allegan had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
