WYMER MAKES ‘EM PAY; LEADS TIGERS PAST STRUTHERS
NEW MIDDLETOWN, OH- Makenna Wymer was locked in on both sides of the ball Thursday night, driving in four runs and pitching a gem to lead the Springfield Tigers to a dominant 13-3 win over Struthers in five innings.
Wymer crushed a two-run double in the third to spark a six-run inning and later blasted a two-run homer to left in the fourth as Springfield piled on seven more in the frame. She finished 2-for-3 with 4 RBIs and also earned the win in the circle, striking out nine and allowing just two hits and three unearned runs across five innings.
Struthers got on the board first in the opening frame with a run off a groundout from Katie Morris, but Springfield took control in the third and never let go.
The fourth inning saw Springfield’s bats explode — Wymer’s homer was followed by an RBI double from Olivia Allen, a 2-run single by Corissa Allen, and an RBI single from Hannah Stouffer, helping push the Tigers’ lead to double digits.
Springfield racked up 12 hits on the day, with Gracie Maldonado, Stouffer, Gina Romeo, and Wymer each collecting two hits.
For Struthers, Gia Smiley and Sam Minno each recorded a hit, while Hannah Susany knocked in a run. Morris was tagged with the loss, allowing 13 runs (8 earned) in four innings of work.
Springfield improves to 2-0 on the season and will return to action Friday at home against Jackson-Milton.
