Spring Valley and Hurricane are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Timberwolves will venture away from home to take on the Redskins at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hurricane took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Spring Valley, who comes in off a win.

Spring Valley took a loss when they played away from home on Tuesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Wednesday. They blew past Huntington 13-7. The result was nothing new for the Timberwolves, who have now won eight contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Spring Valley got a massive performance out of Kennedy Davis, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, two RBI, and one double. That's the most hits Davis has posted over her last eight games. Another player making a difference was Sydney Turner, who went 2-for-5 with three stolen bases and two runs.

Meanwhile, Hurricane fell victim to Cabell Midland and their airtight pitching crew on Wednesday. They fell just short of the Knights by a score of 2-0. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Redskins have suffered since April 17, 2024.

Kate Justice spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on eight hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 22 consecutive appearances.

Hurricane's loss was their first in the region, dropping their region record down to 12-1 and their overall record down to 21-5. As for Spring Valley, they moved to 11-12 with that win, which also ended their five-game losing streak.

Thursday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Spring Valley hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .331. However, it's not like Hurricane struggles in that department as they've averaged .360. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Spring Valley might still be hurting after the 11-3 defeat they got from Hurricane when the teams last played back in April. Can the Timberwolves avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
