Hoover and Jackson are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2022, but likely not for long. The Vikings will challenge the Polar Bears at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Hoover is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 14 runs on Saturday, they were much more limited against Archbishop Hoban on Saturday. They lost 7-1 to the Knights.
Meanwhile, Jackson made easy work of Lakewood on Friday and carried off an 11-1 victory. Considering the Polar Bears have won seven matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Mallory Rohr looked comfortable as she struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Gabbi Williamson and Kenna Blackstock did most of the damage at the plate: Williamson went a perfect 2-for-2 with one run, one double, and one RBI, while Blackstock went a perfect 1-for-1 with three stolen bases and one run. Those three stolen bases gave Blackstock a new career-high. Chloe Whitmer also deserves some recognition as she scored her first run of the season.
