The Morris Redskins will head out on the road to face off against the Kaneland Knights at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Morris is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.4 runs per game this season.
Morris is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 12 runs on Friday, they were much more limited against Seneca on Saturday. They came up short against the Fighting Irish, falling 9-1. The Redskins' defeat signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.
Meanwhile, Kaneland gave up the first runs on Friday, but they didn't let that get them down. They walked away with a 4-1 win over Naperville North.
Brynn Woods spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits and racked up 14 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 12 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Kaneland's victory was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Lillyana Crawford, who went 1-for-4 with three RBI. Those three RBI gave Crawford a new career-high.
Kaneland is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.2 runs over those games. As for Morris, their loss dropped their record down to 19-8.
Morris' speedy runners might be the difference in Monday's match. The Redskins have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Kaneland, though, as they've been averaging only 1.2 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Morris continue to outrun the ball?
Morris beat Kaneland 4-0 in their previous matchup back in April. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Redskins since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
