Knippa extended their losing streak to 16 on Monday, dropping them down to 0-19-1. They lost 14-6 to the Leakey Eagles. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Eagles this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 11-0 last Tuesday.
As for Leakey, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-10 record this season. The result was nothing new for Leakey, who have now won seven games by six runs or more so far this season.
For Leakey's part, Kourtney Rodriguez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and two unearned) runs on five hits and racked up ten Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Angela Lopez, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with three stolen bases, one triple, and two RBI. Those three stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Kaylee Preece was another key player, getting on base in two of her five plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs.
Coincidentally, Knippa and Leakey will both be playing D'Hanis the next time they take the field. The Eagles will head out to face the Cowboys at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, while the Crushers will host them at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
