AMBOY – As Amboy softball coach Kelly Whitman said, senior Tyrah Vaessen has been on fire at the plate.

In three consecutive games, Vaessen was 4-of-4, 5-of-5, and 3-of-3 with a home run, eight doubles, three singles, and five RBI.

Unfortunately, the Lady Clippers have not been able to pick up wins even with Vaessen’s hot bat.

Amboy lost to Milledgeville 8-6 on Tuesday, May 6 and again to Milledgeville 17-15 on Thursday, May 8. The Lady Clippers suffered a 16-6 defeat to Eastland in five innings on Saturday, May 10, and 9-5 to Newman on Monday, May 12.

Amboy is 4-18 on the season and 2-6 in the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference South Division.
