Baseball Game Preview: Memorial Roughriders vs. Minster Wildcats

The Memorial Roughriders will head out to take on the Minster Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.

Memorial fell victim to Ottawa-Glandorf and their airtight pitching crew on Wednesday. They took a 3-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Titans. The Roughriders have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Meanwhile, after a string of eight wins, Minster's good fortune finally ran out on Thursday. They fell just short of Coldwater by a score of 1-0. The match marked the first time this year in which the Wildcats were not able to get on the board.

Minster's defeat dropped their record down to 15-3. As for Memorial, their loss dropped their record down to 9-6.

Memorial skirted past Minster 5-4 in their previous meeting back in April of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Roughriders since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
