It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Houston ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They had just enough and edged out the Anna Rockets 3-2. That's two games straight that the Wildcats have won by just one run.
Makenna Vondenhuevel spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on six hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Houston's victory was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Lauryn Crim, who went 1-for-3 with one home run. That home run was Crim's first of the season.
The win made it two in a row for Houston and bumps their season record up to 6-2. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of one runs across that stretch. As for Anna, their defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 5-3.
Looking ahead, Houston will venture away from home to challenge Shawnee at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Wildcats' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Braves have averaged an impressive 10.2 runs per game this season. As for Anna, they will square off against Fairlawn at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Jets have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.4 runs per game on average), something the Rockets will no doubt try to take advantage of.
