Burr Oak waltzed into their contest on Monday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They put the hurt on the Plainwell Trojans with a sharp 11-2 victory. The Bobcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by six runs or more this season.
Brooklynn Root made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out 14 batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting three hits from her three at bats.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Inez Ultz, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Elaine Holtom, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one double.
Burr Oak always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .613. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Plainwell only posted an OBP of .273.
Burr Oak's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-3. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.6 runs over those games. As for Plainwell, their loss dropped their record down to 10-25.
Burr Oak will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Trojans: the pair will be back at it again later today.
