The Corry Beavers will head out on the road to square off against the Hickory Hornets at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Corry took care of business in their home opener two weeks ago (barely). They had just enough and edged Cathedral Prep out 5-4.
Meanwhile, Hickory scored the most runs they've had all season to find success on Saturday. They blew past Grove City 14-3. With that win, Hickory brought their scoring average up to 6.6 runs per game.
Hallie Miller was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (she also didn't allow any walks). Miller was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, Hickory got a massive performance out of Layla McClung, who went 3-for-3 with a home run, five RBI, and a stolen base. Payton Leunis was another key contributor, going 3-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple.
Corry skirted past Hickory 13-11 in their previous matchup back in May of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Hickory's Loren Myers, who pitched 5.2 innings while giving up just two earned (and eight unearned) runs off eight hits. Now that she won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be that much easier for Corry to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
