Norris had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Seward on Thursday. The Titans were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over the Bluejays. Considering the Titans have won five matches by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Embrie Bednar spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on zero hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Kenzie Siebrandt, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That home run was her first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Myra Carlow, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one run and one RBI.

Norris was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Seward only posted a batting average of .000.

Norris has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for Seward, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-5.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Norris will welcome Elkhorn North at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Seward, they will host Beatrice on Thursday.
