Poland extended their losing streak to five on Monday, dropping their season record down to 1-5 in the process. They lost 15-3 to the Lake Region Lakers. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Lakers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 10-2 two weeks ago.
Poland saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Phoebe Paradis, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base. Delilah Farrington also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
As for Lake Region, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games.
On Lake Region's side, Haley Hamlin spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on two hits and racked up six Ks. Hamlin has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Margo Tremblay was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs, four RBI, and one triple. Ava Cole was another key player, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with three runs.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Poland will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Mountain Valley at 4:00 p.m. on June 4. As for Lake Region, their homestand will continue as they prepare to take on Leavitt at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
