The Jefferson Cougars will venture away from home to challenge the Washington Patriots at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Jefferson is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.8 runs per game this season.
It was a proper cat-fight when Jefferson challenged Spring Mills on Tuesday. The Cougars fell just short of the Cardinals by a score of 5-4.
Jersey Rummel made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and fired off two home runs and four RBI while going 3-for-4. Those home runs were her first of the season.
Hedgesville hit Washington with a four-run fourth inning on Tuesday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Patriots fell just short of the Eagles by a score of 8-6. The loss was the Patriots' first of the season.
Mckenzie O'Hara was huge no matter where she played even without the win. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out 15 over 5.2 innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.
In other batting news, Kylie Benner was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI. Another player making a difference was Addison Musser, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one double.
Jefferson has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.5 runs over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Washington fell to 4-1.
Jefferson beat Washington 9-4 when the teams last played back in May of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cougars since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
