Hononegah waltzed into their match on Wednesday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Jefferson J-Hawks a 9-0 shutout. The Indians have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the J-Hawks, too.
Hononegah let Peyton Klikno and Addison Hulburt run wild. Klikno went 3-for-4 with one home run and two runs, while Hulburt went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. Those two stolen bases gave Hulburt a new career-high. Stella Leopold also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
Hononegah always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .588. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
