The Edina Hornets will head out on the road to challenge the Rogers Royals at 4:15 p.m. on Monday. Edina is coming into the game hot, having won their last four games.
If Edina beats Rogers with two runs on Monday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two matches with that exact score. The Hornets beat Hopkins on Friday by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 2-1.
Ari Farsht spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on five hits.
At the plate, Edina secured the win behind a pair of hitters. One of them was Bode McConnell, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one RBI. Chase Nevers also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Edina hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least five batters in three consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, Rogers didn't have quite enough to beat Andover on Thursday and fell 4-3.
Edina's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-6-1. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Rogers, their loss dropped their record down to 7-7.
Edina came out on top in a nail-biter against Rogers in their previous matchup back in May of 2024, sneaking past 6-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hornets since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
