Memorial won against Centennial last Tuesday with 12 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Friday. The Memorial Warriors were the clear victor by a 12-1 margin over the Heritage Coyotes. With that victory, the Warriors brought their scoring average up to 6.5 runs per game.

Megan Wilson made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out ten over five innings pitched. That's the fewest hits she has allowed since back in March of 2024. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 1-for-3.

In other batting news, Memorial got a massive performance out of Sophia Cooper, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Cooper has been hot recently, having also posted at least one triple the last three times she's played. Zoey Chasko also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.

Memorial kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 4.9 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 10.

Memorial's win ended a four-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 7-6. As for Heritage, they dropped their record down to 0-8 with the defeat, which was their 12th straight on the road dating back to last season.

Coming up, Memorial will venture away from home to challenge Independence at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Memorial is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.5 runs per game this season. As for Heritage, they will welcome Liberty at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Heritage has given up an average of 14.8 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week.
