Neither of those teams managed to put together many  runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\">Thursday just wasn&#8217;t the day for Erie&#8217;s offense. They took  a  4-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Meadville on Thursday. The  loss   continues a  trend for the Royals in their meetings with the Bulldogs: they&#8217;ve now lost nine in a row.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ID6075364f51604fe6b8c7b9bd145f6fde\" style=\"width:48px;height:48px;border-radius:24px;\" class=\"infosentience-float-left \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775853028_700_76038a67-a8e1-4b34-b954-67f1d84d3299.gif\" alt=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display=\" none=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"IDa389f879735245c19d4150741ba25710\" style=\"color:#000000;margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:12px;font-family:Siro-Semibold,Siro;font-size:16px !important;font-weight:500;\" class=\"infosentience-standard-text infosentience-float-left \" tabindex=\"-1\"> Jaide Cessna<\/p>\n<p>03\/31\/26 @ Titusville103\/24\/26 vs Iroquois303\/30\/26 vs Warren604\/09\/26 vs Meadville8<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/pa\/erie\/erie-royals\/athletes\/jaide-cessna\/?careerid=ghjstuvfsr7p9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Jaide Cessna<\/a> spent all seven innings on the mound, and it&#8217;s clear why: she surrendered three earned  (and one unearned) runs on ten hits and racked up eight Ks. Those eight  strikeouts set a new season-high mark for  her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Meanwhile, Lake Catholic fell victim to South and their airtight pitching crew  on Thursday. They came up short against  the Rebels, falling  18-0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Lake Catholic now  has a losing record of 1-2. As for Erie, they now  have a losing record of 2-3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\"> Erie got the &#8216;W&#8217; in their previous meeting  back in April of 2025 against Lake Catholic by a conclusive  16-6 score. Do  the Royals have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Cougars turn the tables on them?
