Colony is 9-1 against Wasilla since April of 2024 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. The Knights will face off against the Warriors at 3:00 p.m. Both teams are coming into the game red-hot, with Colony sitting on 12 straight wins and Wasilla on three.
Colony is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. Their pitcher stepped up to hand West Anchorage a 24-0 shutout last Friday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Knights with their most commanding win of the season.
Emma Minnick made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. That's the most hits she has posted over her last 14 matchups.
In other batting news, Taylor Passard was a standout: she got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Malana Bell, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI.
Meanwhile, Wasilla faced Houston in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Friday. The Warriors put the hurt on the Hawks with a sharp 17-8 victory. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by eight runs or more this season.
Like Colony, Wasilla also got a great game from a two-way player: Morgan Schoon. She tossed four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. Schoon was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three runs and three RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Sydney Shaw, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season. Maylee Metcalf was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.
Wasilla was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .484. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .300 or higher in three consecutive games.
Colony's record now sits at 22-2. As for Wasilla, their record is now 9-5-1.
Monday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Colony has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .527. However, it's not like Wasilla struggles in that department as they've averaged .499. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Colony came out on top in a nail-biter against Wasilla in their previous matchup two weeks ago, sneaking past 2-1. Will the Knights repeat their success, or do the Warriors have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
