Streator had lost three straight on the road, but on Saturday they dropped their record down to 3-11 to make it four. They came up short against the Morris Redskins, falling 9-3. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Bulldogs of the 13-5 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2024.
Streator saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Makenna Ondrey, who went 2-for-3 with two doubles and one run. Kieran Black also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
As for Morris, their win bumped their record up to 10-4. The result was nothing new for the Redskins, who have now won five contests by six runs or more so far this season.
On Morris' side, Mylie Hughes spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on five hits and racked up 12 Ks. Hughes has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Cami Pfeifer was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with four RBI, one triple, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Halie Olson, who got on base in two of her four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Streator will challenge Peotone at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Blue Devils' pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Bulldogs' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Morris, they will square off against Rochelle at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Redskins are facing the Hubs at the right time seeing as the Hubs are stuck on an eight-game losing streak.
