The Ocean Springs Greyhounds will venture away from home to take on the Satsuma Gators at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. Ocean Springs is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.7 runs per game this season.
On Friday, Ocean Springs didn't have quite enough to beat Greene County and fell 9-8.
Ava Case made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run and stole a base while going 4-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Taylor Farra, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.
Case wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Ocean Springs kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since back in April of 2024.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Satsuma). They put the hurt on Elberta with a sharp 22-1 win on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Satsuma has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 7-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. Ocean Springs' defeat dropped their record down to 5-5.
Ocean Springs couldn't quite get it done against Satsuma in their previous matchup back in March of 2024 as they fell 5-0. Can Ocean Springs avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
