Monroe Central had lost three straight on the road, but on Wednesday they dropped their record down to 7-10 to make it four. They took a 7-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Shadyside Tigers. The Seminoles were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Tigers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Karlie Haslam spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up eight Ks.
On the hitting side, Jadyn Miller and Allie McFredrick did some serious damage despite the final result: Miller went a perfect 4-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run, while McFredrick went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Those stolen bases marked the first that McFredrick has snagged this season. Another player making a difference was Brylee McFredrick, who went 2-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
As for Shadyside, they are on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games.
On Shadyside's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Ariana Saxton gave up only one earned (and one unearned) run on six hits. Saxton has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Kaylie Warnock was excellent, going 2-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Josey Greenwood was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Shadyside beat Monroe Central by a score of 7-2 later that day.
