Hart is a perfect 7-0 against Chaminade since March of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. It'll be a Battle of the Birds when Hart Hawks duke it out with Chaminade Eagles at 3:30 p.m. Hart has given up an average of 7.7 runs per game this season, but Monday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

Hart saw some tournament action on Saturday. They came up short against Vasquez, falling 14-5.

Meanwhile, Chaminade waltzed into their contest on Thursday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Royals. That's two games straight that the Eagles have won by exactly ten runs.

Finley Suppan spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on five hits. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Siena Greenlinger, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Those three runs gave her a new career-high. Casey Glantz was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.

Chaminade always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .516. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in four consecutive matches.

Hart has been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-9 record this season. Chaminade's win bumped their record up to 11-8-1.

Everything went Hart's way against Chaminade in their previous meeting back in February of 2024, as Hart made off with a 13-6 victory. Does Hart have another victory up their sleeve, or will Chaminade turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
