The Morris Redskins will head out on the road to square off against the Plainfield South Cougars at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Morris is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.2 runs per game this season.
Morris will bounce into Thursday's match after beating Sycamore, who they had gone 2-7 against in their nine prior meetings. The Redskins came out on top in a nail-biter against the Spartans last Wednesday, sneaking past 3-2. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Redskins have posted since March 22nd.
Mylie Hughes spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on six hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Addy Hackett was excellent, going 1-for-2 with one home run and two RBI. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Plainfield South). They blew past Joliet Central 19-6 on Wednesday. The Cougars not only won on Wednesday, but they posted their biggest win since April 24th (when they won 17-0).
Morris' win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 20-9. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Plainfield South, with the win, they broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 17-14.
Morris skirted past Plainfield South 1-0 in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Redskins since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
