The Calhoun Warriors will head out on the road to take on the Roxana Shells at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Calhoun is headed into the contest having just posted their closest win since May 16, 2025 on Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-2 victory over Quincy Notre Dame.
Riley Pohlman spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits.
At the plate, Kiera Sievers was excellent, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in May of 2025. Anabel Eilerman also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Calhoun was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .385. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .323 or higher in three consecutive matchups.
While Roxana didn't have the best season last year (they finished 0-19), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. Everything went their way against Marquette Catholic on Saturday as they made off with a 12-2 win. The Shells might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by nine runs or more this season.
Roxana pushed their record up to 5-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for Calhoun, their victory bumped their record up to 2-3.
Calhoun got the 'W' in their previous matchup back in March of 2025 against Roxana by a conclusive 13-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
