The Christian Academy Warriors will head out to challenge the Austin Eagles at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Christian Academy is leaving town to face Austin after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Warriors lost 8-2 to Clarksville on Friday. The Warriors haven't had much luck with the Generals recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.
Leah Stevens spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and five unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up seven Ks.
On the hitting side, Christian Academy saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Natalie McKain, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-4.
Meanwhile, Austin fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Southwestern on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Rebels by a score of 6-5. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
