The Smithville Smithies will head out on the road to face off against the Fairless Falcons at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Smithville can't be to happy about their upcoming road game considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Thursday. They fell just short of McKinley by a score of 9-7. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Smithies have suffered since April 23, 2024.
Caitlin Walsh-Knouff made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored three runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-4.
Meanwhile, Fairless was not able to break out of their rough patch on Saturday as the team picked up their seventh straight loss dating back to last season. They came up short against Sandy Valley, falling 16-0.
Fairless saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kendra Zawadzki, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one double. That double was Zawadzki's first of the season.
Smithville beat Fairless 11-8 in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Smithville since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
