Ketcham pushed their record up to 15-3 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games. As for Fox Lane, their record is now 14-5.
Ketcham skirted past Fox Lane 1-0 in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Storm since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
