Softball Preview: Roswell Hornets vs. Seckinger Jaguars
Roswell has won four straight games at home, while Seckinger has won four straight on the road dating back to last season, but those streaks won't matter much on Thursday. The Roswell Hornets will host the Seckinger Jaguars at 6:00 p.m. Roswell's pitching crew has only allowed 3.9 runs per game this season, so Seckinger's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Roswell is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Milton just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Tuesday. They lost 9-1 to the Eagles. The Hornets have struggled against the Eagles recently, as their game on Tuesday was their eighth consecutive lost matchup.
Meanwhile, everything went Seckinger's way against Lanier on Tuesday as Seckinger made off with a 15-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Jaguars, who have now won 11 games by six runs or more so far this season.
AnnMarie Nagy spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on seven hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in seven consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, Milan Torres was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with a home run and three runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Megan Whitt, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Seckinger always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .526. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lanier only posted an OBP of .320.
Roswell's loss dropped their record down to 11-4. As for Seckinger, their victory bumped their record up to 17-2.
Roswell might still be hurting after the 16-8 defeat they got from Seckinger when the teams last played back in August. Will Roswell have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
