That's the most runs Eakle has posted since back in March. Aubree Clark was another key player, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Eastmont was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .419. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive games.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Eisenhower, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 13-12 victory over Wenatchee on Tuesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Cadets considering their one-run performance the matchup before.
Zabella Hickenbottom was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base. The team also got some help courtesy of Dylan Deveaux, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI and two runs.
Eastmont's record is now 12-5. As for Eisenhower, their record now sits at 8-9.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Friday. Eastmont hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.6 home runs per game. However, it's not like Eisenhower struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 0.8 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Eastmont got the 'W' in their previous matchup back in May of 2025 against Eisenhower by a conclusive 11-4 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wildcats since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
