East Lake is a perfect 10-0 against Clearwater since February of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. East Lake is taking a road trip to challenge Clearwater at 7:00 p.m. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Clearwater will be up against a hot East Lake squad: the team just extended their winning streak to four. East Lake never let Boca Ciega get on the board and left with a 15-0 win on Monday. The contest marked the Eagles' most dominant victory of the season so far.
Lucy Mondok made a big impact no matter where she played. She struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). That's the fewest hits she has allowed since back in May of 2024. She was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs and four RBI while going 2-for-2.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lilly Clawson, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. Isabella Johnson also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.

Meanwhile, Clearwater made easy work of St. Petersburg on Wednesday and carried off a 12-2 win. That's two games straight that the Tornadoes have won by exactly ten runs.

On the mound, she struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits (and not a single walk). Corning has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while going 3-for-3. Those three stolen bases gave her a new career-high.
The victory made it two in a row for Clearwater and bumps their season record up to 8-5. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 2 run in those games. As for East Lake, their record now sits at 9-2.
East Lake took their victory against Clearwater in their previous matchup back in February of 2024 by a conclusive 11-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for East Lake since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
