Softball Game Preview: Sanger Indians vs. Celina Bobcats

The Sanger Indians will head out on the road to take on the Celina Bobcats at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Sanger will be looking to extend their current eight-game winning streak.

Last Monday, Sanger made easy work of Bonham and carried off an 8-2 win. Considering the Indians have won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Leala Kloewer spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on seven hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 12 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Vivy Lynch was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Dalilah Millan, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4.

Sanger was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .448. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bonham only posted a batting average of .259.

The home team had won the previous four meetings between Celina and Bonham, and Celina kept the tradition alive. The Bobcats skirted past the Warriors 3-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Bobcats have posted since April 13, 2024.

Sanger's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-5-3. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games. As for Celina, their record is now 5-16.

Sanger skirted past Celina 3-1 in their previous matchup two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Indians since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
