Baseball Preview: Limon Badgers vs. Stratton Eagles

Suggested Video

Limon has gone a perfect 4-0 against Stratton recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Badgers will head out on the road to challenge the Eagles at 4:00 p.m. Limon is coming into the contest hot, having won their last seven games.

If Limon beats Stratton with ten runs on Thursday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two matches with that exact score. The Badgers didn't even let Colorado Springs Christian on the board on Tuesday, marking the Badgers' second-straight 10-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Badgers, who have now won four games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Brody Scherrer was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out nine over five innings pitched. Scherrer was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Logan Haflich, who scored three runs and stole four bases while going 3-for-3. He has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last six times he's played. Another player making a difference was Liam Yoder, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2.

Limon was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .391. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Colorado Springs Christian only posted a batting average of .118.

Meanwhile, Stratton came up short against Holly on Tuesday and fell 11-6. The Eagles have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Von Isenbart was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-3 with three RBI and one triple. That triple marked the first that he hit this season. Gage Levin was another key player, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.

Limon pushed their record up to 7-2 with the win, which was their 17th straight at home dating back to last season. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.6 runs over those games. As for Stratton, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-2.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Limon has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 7.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Stratton struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Limon took their win against Stratton in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 10-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Badgers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
