Softball Game Preview: Eastern Comets vs. Tri-Central Trojans

The Eastern Comets will challenge the Tri-Central Trojans at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.

Eastern is headed into Tuesday's game looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their fourth straight game on Monday. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 3-2 heartbreaker at the hands of Clinton Prairie.

Eastern saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Maddy Stevens, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and one run.

Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Tri-Central's offense. They lost 19-0 to Rossville on Friday. The Trojans haven't had much luck with the Hornets recently, as the team has come up short the last eight times they've met.

Eastern's loss dropped their record down to 3-22. As for Tri-Central, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-10.

Eastern couldn't quite finish off Tri-Central when the teams last played two weeks ago and fell 6-4. Can the Comets avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
