Softball Game Preview: Princeton Tigers vs. Zimmerman Thunder

The Princeton Tigers will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Zimmerman Thunder at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.

Princeton is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They fell just short of Cambridge-Isanti by a score of 3-1 on Tuesday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Tigers have suffered since April 9, 2024.

Meanwhile, Zimmerman lost 13-2 to St. Francis on Thursday. The Thunder have struggled against the Fighting Saints recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive lost meeting.

Princeton came out on top in a nail-biter against Zimmerman when the teams last played back in April of 2024, sneaking past 8-6. Do the Tigers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Thunder turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
