Softball Preview: String Theory vs. Saul Razorbacks
String Theory will head out on the road to take on the Saul Razorbacks at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (String Theory has six straight wins, Saul has five straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
String Theory put the finishing touches on their fourth blowout victory of the season on Tuesday. They were the clear victor by a 16-6 margin over Olney.
Alexa Pietrafesa and Joslyn Wimberly did most of the damage at the plate: Pietrafesa went 3-for-3 with four runs, two stolen bases, and five RBI, while Wimberly scored four runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-3. Wimberly is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: she's stolen at least one every time she's taken the field this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Alaina Petrone, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Saul couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. Their tough 22-11 defeat to Northeast back in March might stick with them for a while. Both teams can probably skip cardio this week after making that many trips around the bases.
String Theory pushed their record up to 6-0 with that victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. As for Saul, their loss dropped their record down to 0-1.
Everything went String Theory's way against Saul in their previous matchup back in May of 2017 as String Theory made off with an 11-1 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for String Theory since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
