Preview: Jordan Panthers vs. Millikan Rams
Jordan is 0-10 against Millikan since March of 2018 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Thursday. The Jordan Panthers will be playing in front of their home fans against the Millikan Rams at 4:00 p.m.
Jordan couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell victim to a rough 20-2 loss at the hands of Woodrow Wilson last Tuesday. The defeat means Jordan is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.
Meanwhile, Millikan's rock-solid pitcher showed up for the team's fourth consecutive shutout on Tuesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Woodrow Wilson a 5-0 shutout.
Not much got past Ava Schaffel, who gave up just four hits and racked up seven Ks to keep Woodrow Wilson off the board. Schaffel has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Ella Burleson, who went 1-for-1 with a home run and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Riley McAndrew, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a double.
Jordan suffered a grim 14-0 defeat to Millikan in their previous matchup back in April of 2023. Can Jordan avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
