The Coventry Comets will head out to square off against the Hubbard Eagles at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Coventry will be strutting in after a win while Hubbard will be coming in after a loss.

Coventry came out on top against Alliance on Monday thanks in part to the team's impressive six-run third inning. The Comets blew past the Aviators 11-1. Considering the Comets have won eight games by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Addisyn Hahn looked comfortable as she tossed three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
