If Edgewood was riding high fresh off their 15-1 takedown of Middletown on Tuesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Cougars lost 8-1 to the Monroe Hornets on Wednesday. The Cougars were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Hornets apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Edgewood saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Evelyn Henson, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
Edgewood has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-10 record this season. As for Monroe, they pushed their record up to 9-1 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Edgewood will challenge Badin at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. As for Monroe, they will take on Archbishop Alter at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Knights have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.88 runs per game on average), something the Hornets will no doubt try to take advantage of.
