The Paulding County Patriots will face off against the Cherokee Warriors at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Paulding County is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.5 runs per game this season.

Paulding County easily dispatched McEachern on Tuesday, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. The Patriots fell just short of Westminster by a score of 4-2 on Thursday. Having soared to a lofty 18 runs in the game before, the Patriots couldn't push the score so high this time.

Paulding County got a good showing from Ashlyn Whitton, who tossed four innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits. Whitton has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Kylee Stancil made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Cherokee and North Paulding meet (two straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. The Warriors fell just short of the Wolfpack by a score of 4-3.

Cherokee's defeat dropped their record down to 19-10. As for Paulding County, their loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 15-12.
