The Johns Creek Gladiators will venture away from home to take on the Norcross Blue Devils at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.

On Tuesday, Johns Creek made easy work of Northview and carried off an 18-3 victory.

The team relied heavily on Zelda Arthur, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in August of 2024. Claire Dennis was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs and two RBI.

Johns Creek always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .833. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Meanwhile, Norcross had to endure a ten-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They blew past Meadowcreek 18-4 on Tuesday. The Blue Devils not only won on Tuesday, but they posted their biggest win since August 11th (when they won 19-0).

Johns Creek's record is now 11-17. As for Norcross, their record now sits at 7-21.

Johns Creek came out on top in a nail-biter against Norcross in their previous matchup back in September, sneaking past 5-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Gladiators since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
