Seneca is 8-2 against Walhalla since February of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Seneca Bobcats will be playing at home against the Walhalla Razorbacks at 5:00 p.m. Seneca is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.8 runs per game this season.

Seneca is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering West-Oak just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Wednesday. They fell just short of the Warriors by a score of 2-1. The game marked the Bobcats' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.

Luke McGuffin was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched 6.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Seneca saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Tyler Vassey, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.

Meanwhile, Walhalla was able to grind out a solid win over Travelers Rest on Wednesday, taking the game 9-6. The victory continues a trend for the Razorbacks in their matchups with the Devildogs: they've now won three in a row.

The team relied heavily on Carson Bibb, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four RBI and two runs. Another player making a difference was Carson Duncan, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-2.

Walhalla hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post two or more strikeouts.

Walhalla's win bumped their record up to 6-3. As for Seneca, their loss dropped their record down to 10-2.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Seneca has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Walhalla struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Everything went Seneca's way against Walhalla when the teams last played on Tuesday, as Seneca made off with an 11-1 victory. Does Seneca have another victory up their sleeve, or will Walhalla turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
