There's no place like home for Boulder Creek, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 win over the Liberty Lions on Thursday. The victory continues a trend for the Jaguars in their matchups with the Lions: they've now won six in a row.
Kinsey Wilcox spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on seven hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Lauren Grunert, who went 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024.
