Jordan dropped down to 3-2 on Wednesday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins. They came up short against the Skyline Eagles, falling 15-0. The matchup marked the first time this year in which the Beetdiggers were not able to get on the board.

Jordan saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kimani Archibeque, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one double. Yanelly Perez also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen bases of the season.

Skyline's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-7. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.

On Skyline's side, Maya Jacobsen was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. That's the most strikeouts Jacobsen has posted since back in May of 2025. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. She is 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.

In other batting news, Skyline let Callie Cundick and Abbie Whipple run wild. Cundick got on base in all three of her plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI, while Whipple went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. Those three runs gave Cundick a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Isabelle Rupp, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Jordan will welcome Park City at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Beetdiggers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Miners have averaged an impressive 14.3 runs per game this season. As for Skyline, they will face off against Woods Cross at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Wildcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.56 runs per game on average), something the Eagles will no doubt try to take advantage of.
