The East Granby Crusaders will head out on the road to challenge the Ellington Knights at 3:45 p.m. on Friday.
East Granby couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. Their rough 16-2 defeat to East Catholic two weeks ago might stick with them for a while.
Meanwhile, Ellington never let their opponents score on Wednesday. They came out on top against Canton by a score of 12-0 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). Considering Ellington has won three matchups by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Camryn Fisher was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out 15 over five innings pitched. Fisher has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than ten strikeouts every time she's pitched this season. Fisher was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with five RBI, two runs, and two doubles.
In other batting news, Ellington got a big performance out of Brynlee Eckels, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4. Bryanna Cromwell was another key contributor, scoring a run while going 4-for-4.
East Granby suffered a grim 14-0 defeat to Ellington in their previous meeting back in April of 2023. Can East Granby avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
