Loris and Carolina Forest are an even 4-4 against one another since February of 2018, but likely not for long. A feisty cat fight will be fought as Loris Lions challenge Carolina Forest Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Loris barely beat Marlboro County the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Loris was the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over Marlboro County on Tuesday. With that victory, the Lions brought their scoring average up to 6.6 runs per game.
Jessie Cartrette was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while going 3-for-4.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kenzie McCoy, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Haley Spence, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Loris always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .562. The last time their OBP was this high was back in April of 2024.
Meanwhile, Carolina Forest never let their opponents score on Wednesday. Everything went their way against Socastee as Carolina Forest made off with a 13-0 win. With that victory, the Panthers brought their scoring average up to 6.7 runs per game.
Like Loris, Carolina Forest also got a great game from a two-way player: Kaysen Warehime. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Warehime was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.
In other batting news, Kylee Warehime was excellent, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and one double. Natalie Nesheiwat was another key player, scoring two runs while going 1-for-2.
Carolina Forest has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games. The win got Loris back to even at 4-4.
