Salina Central put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They blew past the Arkansas City Bulldogs 8-1. While the Mustangs didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-17), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Valerie VanZant was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching seven innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while going 3-for-3. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, Bailey Bruce was excellent, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high. Hannah Peckham was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-2.
Salina Central pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: the Mustangs beat Arkansas City by a score of 7-1 later that day.
