Coleman has gone 8-2 against Breckenridge recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Comets are taking a road trip to challenge the Huskies at 4:00 p.m. Coleman has given up an average of 7.8 runs per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

On Tuesday, Coleman came up short against Benzie Central and fell 12-9. The Comets have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Eliza Lewis was cooking despite her team's loss, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with three runs and one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Kendall Allen, who went 1-for-3 with three runs and one stolen base.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Breckenridge, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 10-9 win over St. Charles on Monday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Huskies have posted since April 19, 2024.

Adyson Collins made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and eight unearned) runs off seven hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in doubles (two).

In other batting news, Emma Tinson was a standout: she went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high. Blair Davenport also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Coleman's loss dropped their record down to 4-10. As for Breckenridge, the win got them back to even at 6-6.

Coleman beat Breckenridge 12-9 in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Comets since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
