In game two, it was all Wamego. The Mustangs fell behind early and couldn’t come back in a 17-6 loss to Wamego. Wamego took the lead on a single in the first inning. Despite the loss, Rock Creek was able to collect seven hits. Brynn Hammett and Haley Petty each collected multiple hits for the Mustangs. Demi Kunkel, Jayden Weers, and Olivia Lee each notched a hit in the game. Weers took the loss. “Credit Wamego for putting the ball in play; some great hits, some hits we should have taken away and some we flat missed. Our defense needed to be better, and it wasn’t. Our game took a turn when we allowed 6 runs in the third; we needed top plate runs earlier and didn’t.” Rock Creek will play at home again on Tuesday against Chapman and then travel to McLouth on Thursday for games. Rock Creek is 1-1 on the season.
