Mooresville has gone 9-1 against Plainfield recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Pioneers will host the Quakers at 5:30 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Mooresville 3.3, Plainfield 4) so any runs scored will be well earned.

Mooresville is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Indiana's top teams: Evansville North, who was ranked fourth at the time (Mooresville was ranked 22nd). The Pioneers lost 11-1 to the Huskies on Saturday. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for the Pioneers, who until this contest were averaging 3.33 runs allowed.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Plainfield). They put the hurt on Ben Davis with a sharp 18-6 win on Monday. The Quakers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matchups by six runs or more this season.

Jack Davis looked comfortable as he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, he posted two strikeouts, the most he's had since back in April.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Ty White, who went 3-for-5 with three stolen bases, four runs, and five RBI. What's more, he posted two doubles, the most he's had since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Zach Rhoden, who went 3-for-5 with three stolen bases and four runs.

Plainfield always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

The victory was the third in a row for Plainfield, bringing their record up to 13-6. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for Mooresville, with the defeat, they broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 13-5.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Mooresville has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Plainfield struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.5 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Mooresville was able to grind out a solid victory over Plainfield when the teams last played back in May of 2025, winning 10-5. Will the Pioneers repeat their success, or do the Quakers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
