Manti had lost three straight, but after bumping their record up to 5-6 on Friday that streak is in the rearview. They had just enough and edged out the Emery Spartans 2-1. For the Templars, this counts as revenge for the 7-1 victory the Spartans walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2025.
Danie Alder spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on seven hits.

At the plate, Aleeyah Cowley made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went a perfect 3-for-3 with one stolen base, one double, and one RBI. That stolen base was her first of the season.
