The East Leopards are taking a road trip to take on the Skyline Eagles at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. East knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past six contests -- so hopefully Skyline likes a good challenge.
Last Tuesday, East made easy work of Rowland Hall and carried off a 16-1 victory. Considering the Leopards have won eight games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Skyline). Everything went their way against Corner Canyon on Wednesday as they made off with a 30-13 win. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Eagles.
Maya Jacobsen made a splash no matter where she played. She pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off five hits. Those hits were her first of the season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring five runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in five of her six plate appearances. Those five runs gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Isabelle Rupp was incredible, firing off two home runs, five RBI, and three runs while going 4-for-5. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. Isabella Rasmussen was another key player, going 2-for-4 with five runs, four RBI, and one double.
Skyline kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 22 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Skyline pushed their record up to 5-10 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 18.7 runs over those games. As for East, they have been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-8 record this season.
East took their victory against Skyline in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 30-10 score. Do the Leopards have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Eagles turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
