Southern and Belpre are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2017, but likely not for long. The Tornadoes are taking a road trip to take on the Golden Eagles at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Southern is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Wahama just ended the team's 12-game winning streak on Monday. They lost 21-4 to the White Falcons. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Tornadoes have suffered since March 25th.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Belpre). They blew past Federal Hocking 16-6 on Monday. With that win, the Golden Eagles brought their scoring average up to 6.2 runs per game.
Belpre let Ava Brookover and Addy Stewart run wild. Brookover got on base in two of her four plate appearances with five stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI, while Stewart went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Those three runs gave Brookover a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Lucy Ruble, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.
Belpre always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .588. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Belpre's victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 6-8. As for Southern, their loss dropped their record down to 13-3.
Southern took their win against Belpre in their previous meeting on April 10th by a conclusive 10-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tornadoes since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
