At the plate, the team relied heavily on Adriana Callahan, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two stolen bases.
Meanwhile, Summit fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Mount Juliet on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Golden Bears by a score of 10-9. The Spartans have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Tarek Scherr led a balanced group of hitters, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one double. Another player making a difference was Paityn Robertson, who went 3-for-5 with one triple and one run.
Summit's loss dropped their record down to 16-11. As for Page, their win bumped their record up to 11-1.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Page hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.8 home runs per game. However, it's not like Summit struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.6 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Page skirted past Summit 9-7 in their previous matchup back in March. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Patriots since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
