Tallwood and Bayside are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2018, but likely not for long. The Lions will be playing at home against the Marlins at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

First Colonial hit Tallwood with a four-run sixth inning on Thursday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Lions took a 6-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Patriots. The Lions have struggled against the Patriots recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost meeting.

Meanwhile, Bayside made easy work of Green Run on Monday and carried off a 12-3 win. Considering the Marlins have won four contests by more than seven runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

The team relied heavily on Caidyn Doss, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Kayleigh Leeland-Powell, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.

Bayside always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .606. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Green Run only posted an OBP of .286.

The victory made it two in a row for Bayside and bumps their season record up to 4-8. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 3 runs in those games. As for Tallwood, they now have a losing record of 6-7.

Tallwood couldn't quite get it done against Bayside when the teams last played back in April of 2024 as they fell 13-9. Will the Lions have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
