Glenwood is a perfect 3-0 against Washington since June of 2022 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Titans will square off against the Panthers at 4:30 p.m. Glenwood is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.2 runs per game this season.

Thursday just wasn't the day for Glenwood's offense. They came up short against Normal University on Thursday, falling 10-0. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for the Titans, who until this matchup were averaging 3.95 runs allowed.

Glenwood got a good showing from Andrew Wahlbrink, who tossed 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Wahlbrink has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances.

Meanwhile, Washington came tearing into Wednesday's contest with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Little Giants with a sharp 6-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won 12 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Canton's batters probably weren't too happy with Gavin Lawrence, who pitched a no hitter and racked up nine Ks (he gave up three walks).

On the hitting side, Carter Prina was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. Sam Peters was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and two RBI.

Washington's win was their tenth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 22-8. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.7 runs over those games. As for Glenwood, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 14-8.

Both Glenwood and Washington just can't seem to miss. The Titans have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9 hits per game. However, it's not like Washington struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.4 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Glenwood came out on top in a nail-biter against Washington in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, sneaking past 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Titans since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
