The Arthur-Okaw Christian Conquering Riders will head out on the road to challenge the Sangamon Valley/Tri-City Storm at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Arthur-Okaw Christian had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell just short of Sullivan by a score of 6-5 last Tuesday.
Elsie Beever was huge no matter where she played even without the win. She struck out 12 batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and four unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Beever was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-4.
In other batting news, Avery Herschberger made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Lilie Herschberger, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI.
Meanwhile, Sangamon Valley/Tri-City came up short against Warrensburg-Latham on Thursday and fell 7-4.
