The Skyline Eagles will face off against the East Leopards at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Skyline is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They put the hurt on Corner Canyon with a sharp 30-13 victory on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Maya Jacobsen made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she tossed three innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off five hits. Those hits were her first of the season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring five runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in five of her six plate appearances. Those five runs gave her a new career-high.

They were the clear victors by a 16-1 margin over the Winged Lions. The result was nothing new for the Leopards, who have now won eight games by seven runs or more so far this season.
