If Shaker was feeling good fresh off their 9-3 takedown of Albany on Thursday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Bison fell 5-1 to the Ballston Spa Scotties on Friday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Bison of the 13-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2025.
Talyn Chernosky spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and one unearned) runs on seven hits.
At the plate, Shaker saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ruby Szemplinski, who went 1-for-3 with one RBI.
Shaker has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-12 record this season. As for Ballston Spa, their record now sits at 11-6.
When Shaker and Ballston Spa next hit the field, they'll be up against teams who recently just can't seem to lose. The Bison will try to stop Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake's four-game winning streak when they meet at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Ballston Spa will face off against Ichabod Crane and their eight-game winning streak at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Scotties 3.7, the Riders 2.4) so any runs scored will be well earned.
