Softball Game Preview: Corner Yellow Jackets vs. Moody Blue Devils

The Corner Yellow Jackets will head out to face off against the Moody Blue Devils at 10:45 a.m. on Monday.

Springville hit Corner with a six-run third inning on Saturday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Yellow Jackets lost 10-0 to the Tigers. The defeat continues a trend for the Yellow Jackets in their meetings with the Tigers: they've now lost six in a row.

Meanwhile, Moody had already won 13 in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.4 runs) and they went ahead and made it 14 on Tuesday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Greenwave an 11-0 shutout. Considering the Blue Devils have won 23 matches by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Moody's win was their 12th straight at home, which pushed their record up to 37-8. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Corner, their loss dropped their record down to 14-24-1.

Corner couldn't quite finish off Moody when the teams last played back in March of 2016 and fell 6-4. Can the Yellow Jackets avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
