Madisyn Farnham spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on ten hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Dixon on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Rams by a score of 6-5. The Mustangs have struggled against the Rams recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost meeting.
Rodriguez also let their pitcher toss all 8.2 innings and she was also dialed-in: Amelia Morrison gave up four earned (and two unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up seven Ks.
On the hitting side, Ellie Steiger made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 3-for-5 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. Jasmyn White also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Wood suffered their first home loss, dropping their record down to 13-6. As for Rodriguez, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-9.
Wednesday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Wood hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .345. However, it's not like Rodriguez struggles in that department as they've averaged .358. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Wood was able to grind out a solid win over Rodriguez in their previous matchup back in March, winning 4-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wildcats since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
