The South County Stallions will head out to take on the Edison Eagles at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Edison took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on South County, who comes in off a win.
South County will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up two runs last Tuesday, then bounced right back against Falls Church on Tuesday. The Stallions put the hurt on the Jaguars with a sharp 21-0 victory. The Stallions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 contests by six runs or more this season.
Maddie Grice looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over four innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances.
