The West Geauga Wolverines will head out to take on the South Rebels at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. West Geauga is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.3 runs per game this season.

Morgan Atwara was incredible, firing off two home runs and five RBI while going 2-for-3. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. Dayana Malone also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

West Geauga always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .607. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Meanwhile, while it was South who put the first runs on the board on Monday, it was Chardon who put up more. The Rebels fell just short of the Hilltoppers by a score of 6-5. The loss continues a trend for the Rebels in their meetings with the Hilltoppers: they've now lost five in a row.

Violet Dichazy spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on eight hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Halle Zupancic made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Makayla Schneider, who scored a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.

West Geauga's victory was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 3-7. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.8 runs over those games. As for South, they now have a losing record of 3-4.
