After losing to Zeigler-Royalton the last time they met, Goreville decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Blackcats sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 victory over the Tornadoes on Tuesday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Blackcats.

Breanna (Brea) Suits spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on four hits.

At the plate, Ellie Tripp was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two RBI, and one double. That home run was her first of the season.

Goreville's win bumped their record up to 6-9. As for Zeigler-Royalton, they dropped their record down to 7-13 with the defeat, which was their fifth straight on the road.

Coming up, Goreville will challenge Carrier Mills-Stonefort at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Wildcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11 runs per game on average), something the Blackcats will no doubt try to take advantage of. Zeigler-Royalton will be paying especially close attention to Goreville's game: after Goreville faces off against Carrier Mills-Stonefort, they'll take on Zeigler-Royalton again at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
