STERLING – Some solid glove work was on display in Tuesday’s Western Big 6 game between Sterling and Geneseo.
Both defenses were strong behind their pitchers, and the Maple Leafs’ big plays – combined with Madisyn Buysse’s three-run home run – were enough to top the Golden Warriors 3-2.
The win puts the teams in a tie for second place in the league standings, 2½ games behind Rock Island (12-1). The Rocks clinched the conference title with a 14-7 win over Quincy on Tuesday, as they only have one more WB6 game remaining.
