Potomac Senior and Hylton are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2021, but likely not for long. The Panthers will be playing at home against the Bulldogs at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.

Potomac Senior is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 15 runs on Friday, they were much more limited against Forest Park on Monday. They lost 12-1 to the Bruins. The loss continues a trend for the Panthers in their meetings with the Bruins: they've now lost five in a row.

Meanwhile, after some red-hot attacks at the plate in their last three contests, Hylton finally came back down to earth on Thursday. They came up short against Massaponax, falling 6-0. The Bulldogs' defeat signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.

Hylton saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jayel Williams, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases. Williams is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games she's played.

Potomac Senior's loss dropped their record down to 3-7. As for Hylton, their defeat dropped their record down to 10-5.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Potomac Senior has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Hylton struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Potomac Senior might still be hurting after the 23-1 loss they got from Hylton in their previous meeting back in April. Will the Panthers have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
