Tate is a perfect 10-0 against Escambia since May of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Aggies will face off against the Gators at 6:30 p.m.
Tate fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Navarre on Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 7-4 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Raiders. The Aggies' defeat signaled the end of their four-game winning streak.
Jordan Smith spent all nine innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and two unearned) runs on 11 hits. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Tate saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Blakely Campbell, who went 1-for-2 with one RBI.
Meanwhile, Escambia came tearing into Friday's game with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They blew past the Sharks 8-2. The result was nothing new for the Gators, who have now won ten contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Madelynn Ladner made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and only one walk). Ladner was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lacey Weinrich, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Escambia's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-5. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Tate, their loss dropped their record down to 6-9.
Tate took their win against Escambia in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 11-3 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Aggies since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
