Lapel is on a six-game streak of home wins, while Anderson is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Bulldogs will welcome the Indians at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Lapel's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last three matches.
Lapel's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Monday. They put the hurt on Muncie Central with a sharp 12-0 victory. Considering the Bulldogs have won 18 games by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Lapel got a great performance from Jakoby Nunley as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over five innings pitched.

On the hitting side, Lapel let Rylie Hudson and Quade Hall run wild. Hudson went 2-for-3 with one home run and three RBI, while Hall went 1-for-2 with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Those three stolen bases gave Hall a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Camden Novak, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base.
Lapel always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .538. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Muncie Central only posted an OBP of .188.
Meanwhile, Anderson can bid farewell to their four-game losing streak thanks to their game on Monday. They had just enough and edged out Madison-Grant 4-3. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Indians have posted since May 9, 2024.
The team relied heavily on KeAvon Burt, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played. Nehemiah Burns also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Lapel's victory bumped their record up to 24-1. As for Anderson, the win got them back to even at 11-11.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Lapel has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Anderson struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Lapel beat Anderson 9-6 when the teams last played back in May of 2024. Do the Bulldogs have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Indians turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
