Meanwhile, there's no place like home for King George, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Tuesday. They came out on top against Spotsylvania by a score of 7-2 on Friday. The Foxes have beaten the Knights the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Knights has come to flipping the script.
Kelsea Minter made a splash while hitting and pitching. She struck out 13 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in May of 2024. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with one home run.

Chancellor's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's game. The Chargers have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for King George, though, as they've been averaging only 0.8 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Chancellor continue to outrun the ball?
Chancellor might still be hurting after the 15-0 loss they got from King George in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. Can the Chargers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
