Lexie Hames made a big impact no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out 20 over seven innings pitched. Hames has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than nine strikeouts in five consecutive pitching appearances. Hames was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with a home run.
Hames wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Abby Kalkowski, who went 1-for-1 with a triple and an RBI. Another player making a difference was Bella Gross, who scored a run while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Mt. Lebanon suffered a grim 8-2 defeat to Seneca Valley in their previous meeting back in May of 2023. Can Mt. Lebanon avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
