The Spooner Rails will take on the Cameron Comets at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Spooner will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each game than the last.
Spooner is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They never let Ashland get on the board and left with a 22-0 win on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Rails, who have now won ten contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
Annalie Lindgren made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, firing off two home runs, seven RBI, and two stolen bases while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances.
