Plum had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Mars on Wednesday. The Mustangs blew past the Fightin' Planets 12-1. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matches by six runs or more this season.
The team relied heavily on Liana Yusko, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Jaiden Gentile, who scored two runs while going 3-for-4.
Yusko wasn't the only one making solid contact: Plum kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 11 hits in four consecutive games.
Plum has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.9 runs over those games. As for Mars, they dropped their record down to 2-11 with the loss, which was their fourth straight at home.
Looking ahead, Plum will welcome Fox Chapel at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for Mars, they will head out on the road to challenge Penn Hills at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Fightin' Planets are facing the Indians at the right time seeing as the Indians are stuck on a six-game losing streak.
