Morris won the last time they faced Serena and things went their way on Thursday too. The Redskins put the hurt on the Huskers with a sharp 10-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Redskins, who have now won eight games by six runs or more so far this season.

Cami Pfeifer and Halie Olson did most of the damage at the plate: Pfeifer went 4-for-5 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run, while Olson went 3-for-5 with four runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most hits Pfeifer has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Tessa Shannon, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one triple.

Morris was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .395. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Serena only posted a batting average of .167.

Morris is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Serena, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 11-5.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Morris will host Herscher at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Tigers will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something the Redskins surely won't give up without a fight. As for Serena, they will look to defend their home field on Saturday against Amboy at 11:00 a.m. The Huskers are facing the Clippers at the right time seeing as the Clippers are stuck on a five-game losing streak.
