Cory Kirchner put up the most strikeouts he's had since back in April of 2025 on Friday. He struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and only one walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

Kirchner's effort led St. James Academy over Joplin and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Thunder have been dominating at home and they will enter the contest having won four straight home games . Will Kirchner and the rest of the Thunder crew be able to keep the streak alive?
