West Forsyth was not able to break out of their rough patch on Wednesday as the team picked up their sixth straight loss dating back to last season. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost an 11-10 heartbreaker at the hands of the Cherokee Warriors. On the bright side, the ten- run effort marked the Wolverines' highest-scoring contest to date.
Liv Bootcheck was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over 4.2 innings pitched.
At the plate, Rylee Ferguson and Elizabeth Bare stepped up to the plate in a big way. Ferguson went a perfect 5-for-5 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double, while Bare got on base in all five of her plate appearances with three RBI and two runs. That double was Ferguson's first of the season. Maren Moskau was another key player, going 3-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one double.
West Forsyth's defeat dropped their record down to 0-4.
Looking ahead, Cherokee will challenge North Forsyth at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. West Forsyth will be paying especially close attention to the Warriors' game: after the Warriors face off against the Raiders, they'll take on West Forsyth again at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.
