The Delta Rabbits will square off against the Emery Spartans at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday. Delta is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.4 runs per game this season.

Delta fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against North Sanpete on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 9-6 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Hawks. Rabbits fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team's lost against the Hawks since on Tuesday.

Dax Bliss was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out six batters over six innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits.

On the hitting side, Hunt Robinson made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Kyler Davies, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run.

Meanwhile, Emery didn't have quite enough to beat Carbon on Tuesday and fell 4-3.

Emery saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Hayden Christiansen, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.

Delta has been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-12 record this season. As for Emery, their loss dropped their record down to 7-14.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Delta has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Emery struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Delta might still be hurting after the 10-2 defeat they got from Emery in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. Will the Rabbits have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
