Manchester proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by ten) and on Wednesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out the Maconaquah Braves 5-4. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Squires also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.
Molly Schannep spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on eight hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Izzy Renz was excellent, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Mya Metzger, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
