Reeths-Puffer improved to 7-0 overall and 4-0 in O-K Green conference play. The Rockets will host Grand Rapids Northview in a non-conference game on Thursday.
“I’m proud of the girls for keeping their energy up and being aggressive at the plate and on the base path tonight,” said R-P Coach Sarah Bayle. “It’s a whole team effort on defense, as well. When balls are put in play, we get it done and have our pitchers’ backs.
“Mady Snyder and Kyleigh Bilek both pitched really well, dominating on the mound, and had the backup from their defense to bring home two perfect games.”
