Wahama has gone a perfect 10-0 against Wirt County recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The White Falcons will venture away from home to face off against the Tigers at 5:00 p.m. Wahama will be looking to extend their current five-game winning streak.
Wahama is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of West Virginia's top teams: Hoover, who was ranked seventh at the time (Wahama was ranked 18th). The White Falcons came out on top in a nail-biter against the Huskies on Saturday, sneaking past 2-1.
Elissa Hoffman spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Kalyn Christian, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.
Wahama hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least three batters in three consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, Wirt County scored the most runs they've had this season on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough. They fell just short of Calhoun by a score of 12-11. While the Tigers didn't get the win, they did start the game off strong, beating the Red Devils 5-0 in the first period.
Cassie Startcher was cooking despite her team's loss, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one triple. The team also got some help courtesy of Allison Neff, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4.
Wahama pushed their record up to 15-2 with the victory, which was their 12th straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Wirt County, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-6.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Wahama has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Wirt County struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Wahama's way against Wirt County in their previous matchup back in March, as Wahama made off with a 15-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the White Falcons since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
