Holliston had lost ten straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Wednesday they dropped their record down to 2-9 to make it 11. They lost 23-3 to the Norton Lancers. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Panthers of the 18-8 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2024.
Holliston saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Julia Galileau, who went 2-for-3 with one RBI.
As for Norton, the win (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 13-1. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matches by six runs or more this season.
On Norton's side, Liana Danubio made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). Danubio has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-5 with five runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Those five runs gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Avery Tinkham and CeeCee Goodwin did most of the damage at the plate: Tinkham went 2-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles, while Goodwin got on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most RBI Tinkham has posted since back in March. Madelyn Artz also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
