Wewahitchka has gone 9-1 against Altha recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Gators will venture away from home to face off against the Wildcats at 6:00 p.m. Wewahitchka has a tough task ahead: they'll enter the game with four straight defeats, while Altha will come in with five straight wins.
Wewahitchka had taken Vernon down for two straight games at home, but that winning streak came to an end on Tuesday. The Gators fell just short of the Yellowjackets by a score of 8-7.
Laiken Ferrell and Paityn Suber stepped up to the plate in a big way. Ferrell went 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one triple, while Suber scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3. Aubry Bailey also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Altha duked it out with Leon on Tuesday. The Wildcats sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 6-5 victory over the Lions.
Tarrin McCrone spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and four unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Reagan Roberts was excellent, scoring a run while going 2-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Hope Tanner, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
Altha's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-5. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Wewahitchka, their loss dropped their record down to 4-14.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Wewahitchka has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Altha struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Wewahitchka came up short against Altha in their previous meeting back in February, falling 10-5. Can the Gators avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
