Centennial hasn't had much luck against Emerson recently, but that could start to change on Monday. The Centennial Titans will take on the Emerson Mavericks at 2:00 p.m.
Centennial's last matchup with Lebanon Trail could've gone either way, but unfortunately the same can't be said for the pair's contest on Friday. Centennial lost 9-0 to Lebanon Trail. The Titans' loss continues a trend for the team, making it four in a row.
Meanwhile, Emerson hadn't done well against Memorial recently (they were 0-4 in their previous four matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. Emerson walked away with a 6-3 win over Memorial.
Madison Fletcher spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up eight Ks.
On the hitting side, Ellie Thurman was excellent, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4. She also hit a double, marking her first of the season.
Thurman wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Emerson kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in four consecutive games.
Emerson is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. Centennial's defeat dropped their record down to 6-10.
Centennial might still be hurting after the 15-0 loss they got from Emerson in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Can Centennial avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
