Lady Musketeers Making History

The bats were on fire with Ava Wagner picking up 2 hits and Lyla Hess scoring 2 runs. Crewe Wagner assisted with an RBI single and senior Allie Zipfel goes 2-3 hitting a 3-run homerun to start the game, along with an RBI double. That continues the Musketeers’ historical gaming-winning streak, bringing it to 11. Back at home to play the Wesclin Warriors, and beating them 7-2. Geralds had another strong outing delivering 7 strikeouts and allowing only 2 runs. The girls rattled the bats again, with big offensive days from Hess going 3-4, with a single homerun, Addi Dilley going 2-3, and Allie Zipfel going 3-4.

The girls were set to play Chester on Thursday, but the rain kept them from it.
