The Corbett Cardinals will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Vernonia Loggers at 3:00 p.m. on Monday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Corbett is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They came up short against Mountain View on Friday, falling 26-9.
Bella Austinson and Paige Denney did some serious damage despite the final result: Austinson scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances, while Denney scored two runs while going 3-for-4. Lilly Schimel was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, Vernonia was not able to break out of their rough patch on Saturday as the team picked up their third straight defeat. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 23-22 heartbreaker at the hands of Colton.
Julia Busch and Chloe Schumburg stepped up to the plate in a big way. Busch scored five runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of her six plate appearances, while Schumburg got on base in four of her six plate appearances with four RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. Those five runs gave Busch a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Lila Eckert, who scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in four of her six plate appearances.
Even though they lost, Vernonia always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .635. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
