If Monday’s win over Albany wasn’t enough to have Trenton believing in itself, a 3-1 win at Putnam County on Wednesday certainly did the trick. Trenton defeated the Midgets to establish a 1-0 Grand River Conference mark.
Trenton jumped out early again, getting a leadoff walk by Gracyn Rongey in the top of the first inning. Chandler Lynch followed with a double to score Rongey and a sacrifice bunt by Madi Moore plated Lynch to make it 2-0 right out of the gate.
From there Trenton’s pitching and defense took over, throttling the Putnam lineup. Emma Roberts picked up the win in the circle, limiting the Midgets to just one run despite issuing six walks. She struck out four in the win.
Trenton added an insurance run late when Mirena King singled home Lynch, who scored for the second time on the night. Lynch finished 2-for-3 with a double, triple, the two runs and an RBI and Teya Cooksey was 2-for-3 as well. Rongey and Mirena King added one hit each to round out Trenton’s six-hit attack.
“Our girls are good,” Trenton head coach Madi Stillwell said. “Tonight they believed that and when they believe it they are great. We can play with anyone. After tonight I think the girls truly know that. Every day confidence can be a struggle. Ninety percent of the game is mental skill and toughness. Monday we gained some confidence. Tonight, we gained even more.”
With the win, Trenton moved to 2-5 overall on the season and 1-0 in league play. Trenton was back in GRC action on Thursday, playing host to Maysville. Trenton is set to travel to Princeton on Tuesday.
JUNIOR VARSITY
Trenton’s junior varsity won again as well, moving to 2-0 with a 5-2 victory.
Avery Clark was 2-for-3 with a double and a run and Morgan Foster and Tymber Cooksey were each 1-for-1 with a double and two RBIs apiece. Katelyn Clark added a hit and Ella Novak drove in a run for the junior varsity.
