Softball Preview: Riverside Panthers vs. Freedom Area Bulldogs
The Riverside Panthers will head out on the road to challenge the Freedom Area Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Riverside had to start their season on the road two weeks ago, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell victim to a tough 19-4 loss at the hands of Ellwood City.
Meanwhile, Monday just wasn't the day for Freedom Area's offense. Their rough 15-0 defeat to Laurel on Monday might stick with them for a while. Freedom Area has struggled against Laurel recently, as their game on Monday was their sixth consecutive lost matchup.
Riverside took their victory against Freedom Area in their previous meeting back in April of 2021 by a conclusive 12-5. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Freedom Area's Tara Speicher, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI, a triple, and a run. Now that she won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be that much easier for Riverside to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
