The Union Titans will head out on the road to challenge the Kelso Hilanders at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Union's pitching crew has only allowed 2.2 runs per game this season, so Kelso's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Meanwhile, Kelso scored the most runs they've had all season to find success on Monday. They were the clear victor by a 22-1 margin over Mountain View. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

On the hitting side, Kalli Carter and Kyleigh Day did most of the damage at the plate: Carter scored two runs while going 2-for-3, while Day went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Karsyn Hall, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in two of her three plate appearances.
Union's defeat dropped their record down to 4-2. As for Kelso, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 7-10.
Union beat Kelso 4-0 when the teams last played back in April of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Kelso's Kaydence Mackin, who didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit over seven innings pitched. Now that she won't be playing on Wednesday, will it be that much easier for Union to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
