The Kemper Academy Rams will be defending their home-field for the first time this season they go up against the Calhoun Academy Cougars at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
Kemper Academy is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They lost 15-0 to Calhoun Academy back in August. The Rams just can't catch a break and have now endured seven defeats in a row dating back to last season.
For Calhoun Academy's part, they let Emerie Baecher and Caylee Smith loose on the outfield. Baecher scored three runs while going 3-for-3, while Smith went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Madisyn Winter, who scored three runs and stole a base.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Calhoun Academy hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in seven consecutive contests.
Kemper Academy suffered a grim 15-0 defeat to Calhoun Academy in their previous matchup back in August. Will Kemper Academy have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
