Holgate extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to eight on Monday, dropping them down to 0-7. They came up short against the Continental Pirates, falling 21-1. If the Tigers were looking for revenge after losing 17-7 to the Pirates when the teams met back in May of 2025, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Continental, their victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-2. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by seven runs or more this season.
For Continental's part, Gracie Homier made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and only one walk). Homier has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April of 2025.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Leah Searfoss, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. Those two hits gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Becca Sullivan, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.

As for Continental, they will face off against Kalida at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
