Southwest Christian School and Legacy Christian Academy are an even 3-3 against one another since April of 2022, but likely not for long. We've got a battle between Eagles coming up. One thing working in Southwest Christian School's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last four games.

Southwest Christian School's pitching crew heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They were the clear victor by a 12-0 margin over Trinity Valley. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by ten runs or more this season.

Southwest Christian School got a massive performance out of Macarley Surina, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. The dominant performance gave Surina a new career-high in runs. Another player making a difference was Karis Jones, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI and one triple.

Southwest Christian School hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in six consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Legacy Christian Academy came up short against Southwest Christian School on Monday, falling 13-3.

Maddy Bertsch made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one triple, one double, and one RBI. That triple was her first of the season.

Southwest Christian School is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-2-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. Legacy Christian Academy's loss dropped their record down to 10-6-1.

Thursday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Southwest Christian School hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .439. However, it's not like Legacy Christian Academy struggles in that department as they've averaged .366. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Everything went Southwest Christian School's way against Legacy Christian Academy in their previous matchup on Monday, as Southwest Christian School made off with a 13-3 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Southwest Christian School since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
