It was an underclassman who stole the show in Thursday's first game as Ava Jo Hares came into the contest with something to prove. Manistique had no answer to Hares as she scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances.
Hares' strong effort led Ishpeming over Manistique and she'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. in Thursday's second game. Ishpeming is 9-0 against Manistique going back to May of 2018, a lead they'll look to extend.
