Collecting 14 hits, the Kimball fast-pitch girls came out firing on all cylinders last Tuesday, April 18, as they defeated Maple Lake, 12-1 in five innings.
“The team had a great day at the plate. Maus threw well on the mound. It felt great to get outside, play on some dirt, and get the first win of the season,” said Coach Emily Greniger.
Allie Leither was clutch at the plate with runners on base, driving in four on three hits. She accomplished that with a double in the first, a home run in the fourth, and a single in the fifth.
Kimball opened up scoring in the first inning with two runs, and they tallied four runs in the fifth inning. The offensive firepower was led by Leither, Hallie Arnold, and Morgan Streit, each plating runners and gathering RBIs.
Claire Maus got the win for the Cubs, allowing four hits and one run over five innings, and striking out seven. Kimball smacked one home run on the day, when Leither got a fourth-inning dinger. Streit, Leither, and Fischer, had three hits each to lead hitting explosion.
