The Highlands Bluebirds will head out on the road to square off against the Scott Eagles at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
On Saturday, Highlands didn't have quite enough to beat Boyd County and fell 6-4.
Conner hit Scott with a four-run fourth inning on Friday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Eagles might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 7-1 to the Cougars, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The Eagles have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Ashlyn Riley spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and three unearned) runs on nine hits.
On the hitting side, Scott saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Lainey Jones, who went 1-for-2 with one RBI.
Highlands was able to grind out a solid win over Scott in their previous matchup back in March of 2025, winning 4-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bluebirds since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
