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. Destiny Ayers also deserves some recognition as she scored her first run of the season.
As for Poland, the victory (which was their fifth in a row) raised their record to 10-2-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.6 runs over those games.
On Poland's side, Karlee Lothrop made a splash while hitting and pitching. She struck out six batters over five innings while giving up three earned runs off six hits. Lothrop was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Looking ahead, Gray-New Gloucester will take on Dirigo at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Cougars' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Patriots' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Poland, they will challenge North Yarmouth Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
