BEAVERS BREAK LOOSE

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL OH- Brylee Curtis came out swinging on Monday, going 3-for-4 and powering Beaver Local past East Palestine, 11-1.

Curtis was on fire at the plate—singled in the first, crushed a solo shot to dead center in the fourth, and doubled in the fifth to cap off a big night.

East Palestine actually struck first with Maddison Foster launching a solo homer to left in the top of the first, but that lead didn’t last long.

In the home half of the inning, Ciara Call answered with a bomb of her own to center, then the wheels came off for EP—two errors and a fielder’s choice later, Beaver was up 4-1.

Ally Wright added a sac fly in the second, and Brenna Jones went yard in the third with a two-run shot to right. By the time Curtis and Megan Henrich drove in two more in the fourth, the Beavers were in full control at 9-1.

Mya Anderson picked up the W, tossing two innings of one-hit ball with six punchouts. Henrich took over in relief and locked it down—three scoreless innings, one hit, four Ks.

Call and Addie Thurik both had multi-hit nights, and Beaver racked up 11 knocks as a team.

Foster led the Bulldogs with her solo blast, while Graycee Ford chipped in a hit. EP turned one double play defensively, but it wasn’t enough to slow the Beavers’ bats.

Next up, Beaver Local heads to Oak Glen on Wednesday, while East Palestine hosts Chaney on Tuesday for their home opener.
