North Ridgeville waltzed into their contest on Wednesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 2-1 W against the Steele Comets. Those two runs were actually the fewest the Rangers have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.
Naomi Bottomlee spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, North Ridgeville's win was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Gabby Thibodeaux, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI.
North Ridgeville pushed their record up to 16-3 with the victory, which was their eighth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.9 runs over those games. As for Steele, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 14-6.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. North Ridgeville will welcome Firelands at 4:45 p.m. on the 8th. As for Steele, they will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Avon Lake at 4:45 p.m. The Shoremen have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.71 runs per game on average), something the Comets will no doubt try to take advantage of.
