Softball Game Preview: Perry Panthers vs. Tuslaw Mustangs

The Perry Panthers will take on the Tuslaw Mustangs at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Perry is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Manchester just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Friday. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (5-4), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time.

Triway hit Tuslaw with a five-run fifth inning on Thursday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Mustangs fell just short of the Titans by a score of 10-8. The Mustangs have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Shaylyn Fox made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Dani Crescenze, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.

Perry's loss dropped their record down to 7-14-1. As for Tuslaw, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-8.

Perry came out on top in a nail-biter against Tuslaw when the teams last played back in April of 2024, sneaking past 1-0. Do the Panthers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Mustangs turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
