The home team had come away the winner the last four times Mascoutah and Triad had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Indians took an 8-5 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Knights on Thursday. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Knights this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 6-0 on Wednesday.
Kinze Reese made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.
Mascoutah's loss dropped their record down to 20-7. As for Triad, the win (which was their fourth in a row) raised their record to 20-11.
Looking ahead, Mascoutah will square off against Columbia at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles' pitching crew has only allowed 3.9 runs per game this season, so the Indians' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Triad, they will face off against Collinsville at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Kahoks have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.76 runs per game on average), something the Knights will no doubt try to take advantage of.
