Shade has gone 9-1 against Blacklick Valley recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Panthers will be playing at home against the Vikings at 4:30 p.m. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.

Shade managed to slip by North Star the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Panthers came up short against the Cougars on Thursday, falling 11-1. Panthers fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team has lost against the Cougars since Thursday.

Meanwhile, Blacklick Valley was not able to break out of their rough patch on Monday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They lost 20-4 to Northern Cambria.

Lauren Rohrabaugh made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one home run and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Zoey Richards, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.

Everything went Shade's way against Blacklick Valley in their previous matchup back in May of 2025, as Shade made off with a 13-0 win. Do the Panthers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Vikings turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
