The Grassfield Grizzlies will take on the Kellam Knights at 5:45 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Grassfield 2, Kellam 1.8) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Grassfield is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Western Branch just ended the team's ten-game winning streak on Thursday. They fell just short of the Bruins by a score of 4-3. The contest marked the Grizzlies' lowest-scoring match so far this season.
Braelyn Bailey spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on eight hits and racked up eight Ks.
On the hitting side, EG Hatcher was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with two doubles and one run. Another player making a difference was Addi Casassa, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kellam). Their pitchers stepped up to hand Green Run a 17-0 shutout on Thursday. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by six runs or more this season.
Kellam pushed their record up to 14-1 with the victory, which was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games. As for Grassfield, their loss dropped their record down to 11-2.
