Emery had lost three straight on the road, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 4-16 to make it four. They fell 9-4 to the Union Cougars. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Spartans of the 4-1 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2022.
Aleeyah Cowley was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two RBI, and one double. Kashlynn Marshall also deserves some recognition as she scored her first run of the season.
As for Union, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.6 runs over those games.
On Union's side, Haylee Moynier spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on four hits and racked up 14 Ks. Moynier has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Rylee Nebeker, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and one triple. The team also got some help courtesy of Charlee Kesler, who went 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
While Emery had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
