Softball Game Recap: Denver Cyclones vs. Union Knights

For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Denver and Union meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. The Cyclones might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 2-1 to the Knights, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The Cyclones were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Knights apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in June of 2024.

Those defeats can't be blamed on the team's pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for Union, their victory ended a 16-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-12.
