Meanwhile, Emery came tearing into Thursday's game with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They came out on top against the Wildcats by a score of 8-4. Eight seems to be a good number for the Spartans as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Kallee Lake spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on seven hits and racked up ten Ks. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 5.1 strikeouts per game.

Emery's victory was their tenth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 19-11. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. As for Grantsville, their record now sits at 22-8.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Friday. Grantsville hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1.1 home runs per game. However, it's not like Emery struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.5 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Grantsville beat Emery 11-8 when the teams last played back in May of 2024. Will the Cowboys repeat their success, or do the Spartans have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
