Port Angeles is 9-1 against Olympic since April of 2021 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. The Roughriders will venture away from home to challenge the Trojans at 4:15 p.m. Port Angeles will be looking to extend their current eight-game winning streak.

Port Angeles had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 18-run drubbing they dealt Bainbridge on Thursday. The Roughriders were the clear victors by an 18-0 margin over the Spartans. The contest marked the Roughriders' most dominant win of the season.

Meanwhile, after a string of seven wins, Olympic's good fortune finally ran out on Thursday. They fell just short of North Kitsap by a score of 3-2. Having soared to a lofty 12 runs in the game before, the Trojans couldn't push the score so high this time.

Brenda Morrison spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in nine consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Kennedy Haas was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with one home run, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Port Angeles pushed their record up to 11-1-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Olympic, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-3.

Port Angeles came out on top in a nail-biter against Olympic in their previous meeting back in March, sneaking past 4-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Roughriders since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
