Jefferson Academy took care of business in their home opener on Saturday (and then some). They were the clear victor by an 18-7 margin over the Englewood Pirates. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Jaguars as it put an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
The team relied heavily on Ellie Arnold, who went 2-for-4 with five RBI, two runs, and a double. Another player making a difference was Madeline Scoggins, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Jefferson Academy was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .633. The last time their batting average was this high was back in August of 2023.
Englewood now has a losing record at 1-2.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Jefferson Academy beat Englewood by a score of 20-10 later that day.
