Jefferson West's game on Monday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Thursday. They won by a run and slipped past the Nemaha Central Thunder 3-2. The game snapped a strange streak: the last four times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.
Addison Garrett spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on eight hits and racked up 13 Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Harriet Dean, who went 1-for-4 with three RBI and one triple. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Emmie Dean, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases.
