We've got a battle between Eagles coming up. Leakey will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each matchup than the last.
Last Tuesday, Leakey made easy work of D'Hanis and carried off a 15-2 win. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 games by seven runs or more this season.
Anna (AK) Fortner was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3. What's more, she posted two RBI, the most she's had since back in March of 2024.
