After seven games on the road, Lanier is heading back home. They will host the Cambridge Bears at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Last Saturday, Lanier came up short against Walnut Grove and fell 5-1.
Lanier saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Sophia Roche, who went 2-for-2 with a stolen base.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cambridge). Everything went their way against Chamblee on Monday as Cambridge made off with a 14-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Bears, who have now won four matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Eve Roszkowski and Lily Kimball dominated on the mound. Roszkowski tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit, while Kimball tossed three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. Kimball has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Lola Phipps was incredible, going 1-for-2 with a home run and four RBI. Another player making a difference was Annie Womack, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Cambridge always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .528. The last time their OBP was this high was back in August of 2023.
Lanier has traveled a rocky road recently having lost eight of their last ten games, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-10 record this season. As for Cambridge, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 10-2.
Lanier might still be hurting after the 11-0 loss they got from Cambridge when the teams last played back in October of 2017. Will Lanier have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
