Softball Preview: Clay Panthers vs. Green Bobcats

Clay is 10-0 against Green since April of 2019, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Wednesday. The Clay Panthers will look to defend their home field against the Green Bobcats at 5:00 p.m. Green took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Clay, who comes in off a win.

Last Monday, Clay made easy work of West Union and carried off a 12-5 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for Clay.

Sarah Cassidy made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and only one hit while striking out seven over seven innings pitched. Cassidy was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI, and a run.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Shea Rawlins, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4. Another player making a difference was Abigail Wiltshire, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, a triple, and two RBI.

Meanwhile, Green had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. Their tough 13-2 defeat to Huntington on Tuesday might stick with them for a while. The loss means Green is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.

Clay took their win against Green when the teams last played back in April of 2023 by a conclusive 13-2. Will Clay repeat their success, or does Green have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
