Commerce had lost three straight at home, but on Monday they dropped down to 4-5 to make it four. They fell 9-4 to the Dewey Bulldoggers. If the Tigers were looking for revenge after losing 2-1 to the Bulldoggers when the teams met back in September of 2022, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Dewey, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games.
For Dewey's part, Kyla Overton spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits and racked up nine Ks. Overton has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Chanley Herren and Jaelynn Smith did most of the damage at the plate: Herren went 3-for-4 with two runs and one RBI, while Smith went 2-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. Those three hits gave Herren a new career-high. Aubree Bellar was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Dewey beat Commerce by a score of 13-3 on Tuesday.
