Charlie Turner spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and two unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 16 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Olympus let Charlotte Comer and Jaedin Mugleston run wild. Comer went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs, while Mugleston went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most hits Comer has posted since back in May of 2024. Allisson Robles was another key player, going 3-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
Olympus was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .485. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .485 or higher in three consecutive contests.
The home team had won the previous four meetings between Brighton and Alta, and Brighton kept the tradition alive. The Bengals blew past the Hawks 7-1 on Thursday. The Bengals might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by six runs or more this season.
Alison Nikolaus made a splash no matter where she played. She struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off seven hits (and not a single walk). Nikolaus was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with two doubles, two RBI, and one run.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Audrey Fleckenstein, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. Another player making a difference was Peyten Bowers, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one run.
Olympus pushed their record up to 17-2 with the win, which was their 19th straight at home dating back to last season. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.9 runs on average this season. As for Brighton, their win bumped their record up to 8-12.
Tuesday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Olympus has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .486. However, it's not like Brighton struggles in that department as they've averaged .459. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Olympus beat Brighton 5-1 in their previous meeting back in April. Will the Titans repeat their success, or do the Bengals have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
