Hot-hitting Kenton Ridge wins seventh straight game

Cougars get 11 hits in 3-0 win over Northwestern and improve to 18-2 on the season. 

SPRINGFIELD — Kenton Ridge senior catcher Paige McCrary had 11 straight hits entering the Cougars’ Central Buckeye Conference crossover game at Northwestern last night. McCrary got the streak to 12 with a single in the first inning before she grounded out in each of her last three at-bats in the game.

But despite McCrary’s subpar day at the plate, the Cougars had no problems getting on base. Kenton Ridge had 11 hits in a 3-0 win over the Warriors.

That’s been the key to Kenton Ridge’s success this season according to fourth year head coach Sarah Ivory — even if a few players aren’t hitting, the rest are.
