Meanwhile, Sequoyah fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Heritage on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Mountaineers by a score of 2-1. The Chiefs have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Kaliegh Atchley spent all 8.2 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on eight hits and racked up 17 Ks. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 10 strikeouts per game.
Sweetwater's victory was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 11-0. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.3 runs over those games. As for Sequoyah, their loss dropped their record down to 5-3.
Sequoyah's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Sweetwater has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .450. It's a different story for Sequoyah, though, as they've only averaged .323. Will they be able to contain Sweetwater's hitters?
Sweetwater might still be hurting after the 18-9 defeat they got from Sequoyah in their previous matchup back in March of 2024. Can the Wildcats avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
