The Warren County Wildcats are taking a road trip to square off against the Meridian Mustangs at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Meridian took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Warren County, who comes in off a win.
Warren County barely beat Rappahannock County the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Wildcats put the hurt on Rappahannock County with a sharp 14-3 win on Monday. The Wildcats' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Ally Andlinger was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high.

Meanwhile, after soaring to 14 runs the game before, Meridian was a bit more limited in their matchup on Friday. They lost 10-0 to Skyline. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last six times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Meridian has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-8 record this season. Warren County's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-11.
Warren County's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's contest. The Wildcats have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Meridian, though, as they've been averaging only 1.2 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Warren County continue to outrun the ball?
Warren County couldn't quite finish off Meridian when the teams last played back in April of 2024 and fell 8-6. Can the Wildcats avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
