Sacred Heart barely beat Guy-Perkins the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Rebels blew past the Thunderbirds 10-2 on Tuesday. Considering the Rebels have won three contests by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, after some red-hot attacks at the plate in their last nine matchups, Perryville finally came back down to earth on Tuesday. They fell just short of Atkins by a score of 3-1. The game marked the Mustangs' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
Ainsley Tippen spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on two hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time she's pitched this season.
Sacred Heart is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 3-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Perryville fell to 9-1.
Sacred Heart might still be hurting after the 15-0 defeat they got from Perryville in their previous meeting back in April of 2023. Will the Rebels have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
