In other batting news, Alexis Vellucci and Leah Alexander stepped up to the plate in a big way. Vellucci went 2-for-4 with one triple and one run, while Alexander went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. That triple was Vellucci's first of the season.
As for Cherokee, they now have a winning record of 3-2. The result was nothing new for the Chiefs, who have now won three contests by six runs or more so far this season.
On Cherokee's side, Allison Cunane spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on ten hits and racked up six Ks.
