East had lost eight straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 1-4 to make it nine. They fell 11-7 to the Green Bobcats. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Tartans of the 5-4 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2024.
As for Green, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.8 runs over those games.
For Green's part, Emma Brown and Peyton Neal did most of the damage at the plate: Brown went 1-for-3 with two runs and two RBI, while Neal went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and three runs. That's the most RBI Brown has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Isabella Conley, who went 1-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.
Green wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next contest, an 11-0 defeat against Manchester on the 18th. Hopefully East paid attention to the Bobcats' game: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Bobcats at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
