Hauser and Greensburg are an even 4-4 against one another since May of 2015, but likely not for long. The Jets will welcome the Pirates at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.

Greensburg will challenge a team with plenty of momentum: Hauser extended their winning streak to four on Monday. The Jets narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Rushville 5-3.

Haven Hartwell spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on six hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Hauser got a massive performance out of Haylin Campbell, who went 3-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one double. That triple marked the first that Campbell has hit this season. Isabelle Brunner was another key player, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.

Hauser was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .483. The last time their batting average was this high was back in May of 2024.

Meanwhile, Greensburg got themselves on the board against Franklin County on Monday, but Franklin County never followed suit. They had just enough and edged out the Wildcats 1-0. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Pirates have posted since April 14th.

The victory made it two in a row for Greensburg and bumps their season record up to 11-2. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 1 runs in those games. As for Hauser, their victory bumped their record up to 7-3.
