For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when South Summit and Morgan meet (five straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. The Wildcats came up short against the Trojans, falling 24-11. The Wildcats were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Trojans apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Emma Broadbent and Malia Olson stepped up to the plate in a big way. Broadbent scored a run while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances, while Olson scored two runs while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Sara Duke, who scored a run while going 1-for-3.
South Summit has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-9 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. As for Morgan, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season.

As for Morgan, they will head out to face off against Logan at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Grizzlies will roll in looking for their fourth straight victory, something the Trojans surely won't give up without a fight.
