East had lost eight straight at home dating back to last season, but on Monday they dropped their record down to 0-8 to make it nine. They lost 31-0 to the McKinley Red Dragons. East was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as McKinley apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
McKinley's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-12. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
For McKinley's part, they got a massive performance out of Caroline Cormell, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with five runs. Those five runs gave Cormell a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Lydiah Taylor, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs.
While East had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
