Machias is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 16 runs on Monday, they were much more limited against Narraguagus on Wednesday. They lost 17-2 to the Knights. Machias has not had much luck with Narraguagus recently, as the team's come up short the last four times they've met.
Meanwhile, Woodland had already won nine in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.7 runs), and they went ahead and made it ten on Friday. They never let the Blue Devils onto the board and left with a 17-0 win. Considering Woodland has won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Machias' defeat dropped their record down to 5-5. As for Woodland, they pushed their record up to 10-2 with that victory, which was their fifth straight on the road.
Machias might still be hurting after the 14-2 loss they got from Woodland when the teams last played back in April. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Woodland's Brooke Smith, who scored four runs and stole six bases while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. Now that Machias knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
