Meanwhile, Corner posted their closest victory since February 22nd on Tuesday. They skirted past Hueytown 7-6.
Lilly Perkins spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on ten hits. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one walk in eight consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Adalyn Owens was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. She is also on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Crimson Erwin was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.
Jasper's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-8. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Corner, their record is now 7-12-1.
Jasper was able to grind out a solid win over Corner in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, winning 5-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Vikings since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
