The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Cougars considering their one-run performance the game before.

Meanwhile, it was close, but on Tuesday Ross sidestepped East Central for a 4-2 win. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Rams.
Josi Alvis made a big impact no matter where she played. She tossed 5.1 innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

Friday's matchup will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Edgewood hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .320. However, it's not like Ross struggles in that department as they've averaged .324. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Edgewood might still be hurting after the 13-1 defeat they got from Ross in their previous meeting on Monday. Can the Cougars avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
