The Wolverines capitalized on Hendersonville’s pitching struggles throughout the contest, as Bearcat hurlers issued 19 walks and hit six batters. This lack of control created numerous scoring opportunities that Polk County efficiently converted into runs.
Several other Wolverines made significant contributions to the offensive explosion, including Minda McComas (1-for-1, four runs, two RBI), Aubrey Champion (four runs, two RBI despite not recording an official at-bat), and Tilly Harris (three runs, two RBIs).
The Wolverines will look to maintain their momentum when they travel to Flat Rock Middle on Thursday for their next contest.
