Wheeler was handed a heart-breaking two-run loss in their last game, but they sure didn't let that happen against Kouts on Wednesday. The Bearcats put the hurt on the Mustangs & Fillies with a sharp 12-5 win. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Bearcats also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2023.
Cadence Piunti was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out 16 batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off eight hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with three runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.
Wheeler always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .538. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Kouts only posted an OBP of .364.
