The Battlefield Bobcats will head out on the road to square off against the Lightridge Bolts at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.
On Wednesday, Battlefield made easy work of Briar Woods and carried off a 10-3 victory.
Olivia Morse spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on eight hits.
On the hitting side, Jaylen Wright was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. McKenzie Pittman was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.
Meanwhile, Lightridge took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Monday. They blew past Freedom 9-1.
Lightridge also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Peyton Robinson gave up a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up 14 Ks.
At the plate, Lightridge let Maya Thaivalappil and Avery Sullivan run wild. Thaivalappil went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs, while Sullivan went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI Sullivan has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Lexi Musick, who went 1-for-4 with one home run.
Lightridge lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Freedom didn't launched any home runs.
