Kearns hasn't had much luck against Cyprus recently, but that could start to change on Monday. Kearns will be playing in front of their home fans against Cyprus at 3:30 p.m. Kearns is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.9 runs per game this season.

On Thursday, Kearns came up short against Granger and fell 10-6.

Maliyah Solomon was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring two runs while going 3-for-4. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Rami Hasna, who scored two runs while going 3-for-4.

Solomon wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Kearns kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. This was only their first loss (out of three games) when they post 11 or more hits.

Meanwhile, Cyprus entered their tilt with Hunter on Thursday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Wolverines a 2-0 shutout. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Pirates have posted since March 8th.

The result came thanks to Breelyn ( Bree ) Garcia's shutout, as she gave up just four hits and racked up 13 Ks. She has been consistent : she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Cyprus saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Adelaide ( Addie ) Winn, who went 2-for-3 with one RBI.

Cyprus' victory bumped their record up to 8-5. As for Kearns, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-7.

Kearns might still be hurting after the 16-2 loss they got from Cyprus in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. Can Kearns avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
