Mountain Ridge had lost four straight at home, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 14-9 to make it five. They came up short against the O'Connor Eagles, falling 10-3. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Eagles this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 14-1 on April 8th.
Mountain Ridge saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Daisy Herrera, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two doubles, one stolen base, and one run. Another was Italia Carpio, who went 1-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base.
As for O'Connor, they moved to 18-10 with that win, which also ended their three-game losing streak. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 11 matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
On O'Connor's side, Rachel Davis spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on seven hits. Davis has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 18 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Sydnee Williams and Raegan Holtorf did most of the damage at the plate: Williams got on base in three of her five plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs, while Holtorf went 2-for-5 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. That's the most stolen bases Williams has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Shay Chappell, who went 2-for-3 with two runs.
Mountain Ridge didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, a 25-0 victory against Valley Vista on the 28th. O'Connor does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
