The Mosley Dolphins will head out to face off against the Enterprise Wildcats at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Enterprise will be up against a hot Mosley squad: the team just extended their winning streak to six. The Dolphins blew past Marianna 8-1 on Thursday.
CJ Harris was excellent, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Mosley was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .379. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Marianna only posted a batting average of .125.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Enterprise). They never let JAG get on the board and left with a 25-0 victory on Tuesday. The Wildcats' pitching crew has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a run in their last three matchups.
Davis Shiver looked comfortable as he struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Brady Richardson, who scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in March. Another player making a difference was Brody Rhoades, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs, one triple, and one RBI.
Enterprise pushed their record up to 21-1 with the win, which was their tenth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.6 runs over those games. As for Mosley, their record is now 13-8.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Saturday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Mosley has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 8.3 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Enterprise struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Mosley beat Enterprise 8-3 when the teams last played back in March of 2017. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Dolphins since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
