Lightridge is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Monday. They were the clear victor by a 9-1 margin over Freedom.
Peyton Robinson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered 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 hits Sullivan has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Lexi Musick, who went 1-for-4 with one home run.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: 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.
Meanwhile, Battlefield got the win against Briar Woods on Wednesday by a conclusive 10-3.
Battlefield also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Olivia Morse gave up three earned runs on eight hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Jaylen Wright, who scored two runs and stole 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.
