The Marshall Lions will challenge the Mt. Carmel Golden Aces at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Marshall is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.5 runs per game this season.
Marshall is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Pinckneyville just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Saturday. They took an 8-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Panthers.
Marshall saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Haley McGuire, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two RBI and one double.
Meanwhile, Mt. Carmel fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Evansville North on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Huskies by a score of 7-6. It was the first time this season that the Golden Aces let down their fans at home.
Evie Sellers was cooking despite her team's loss, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Riley Hershey, who got on base in three of her five plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.
This is the second loss in a row for Mt. Carmel and nudges their season record down to 13-6. Even worse, they were so close both times: the defeats came by an average of only 1.5 runs. As for Marshall, their loss dropped their record down to 18-7.
Monday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Marshall has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .435. However, it's not like Mt. Carmel struggles in that department as they've averaged .464. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
