After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Rock Island, Moline was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. Everything went their way against the Alleman Pioneers as they made off with an 8-2 victory. That's more bragging rights for the Maroons, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Kayley Reynolds spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Brooke Young, who scored three runs while going 2-for-3. Those two hits gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Sydney Sibley, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3.
Young wasn't the only one making solid contact: Moline kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Moline's win bumped their record up to 2-7. As for Alleman, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-6 record this season.
Moline will head out to face off against Normal West at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. As for Alleman, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against Rock Falls at 4:30 p.m. The Rockets have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.29 runs per game on average), something the Pioneers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
