While Howard put up plenty of runs on Friday, the same can't be said for Hammond. Howard blew past Hammond 16-0. That 16 run margin sets a new team best for the Lions this season.
Olivia Coleman and Kiersten Black made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Coleman tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Black struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season. At the plate, Coleman went a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple, while Black scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. That stolen base was Black's first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Hailey Rosendorf, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two triples, three RBI, and one run. Those triples marked the first that she hit this season. Another player making a difference was Jenna Beers, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1.
