The Trenton Tigers will venture away from home to challenge the Wewahitchka Gators at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Trenton is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7 runs per game this season.

Trenton will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up one run on Tuesday, then bounced right back against North Marion on Thursday. Trenton put the hurt on North Marion with a sharp 13-1 victory. That looming 13-1 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Tigers yet this season.

MacKenzie Fisher made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Fisher was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. That triple was her first of the season.

In other batting news, Makenna Young was a standout: she scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-4. She also put up a double, which was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Payton Campbell, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1.

Trenton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .548. The last time their OBP was this high was back in April of 2024.

Meanwhile, after only one run in their last matchup, Wewahitchka made sure to put some runs up on the board against Blountstown on Tuesday. Wewahitchka skirted past Blountstown 10-8. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Gators have posted since March 28, 2024.

Severa Haney spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned (and three unearned) runs on four hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Lauren Brant was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Paityn Suber, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.

Trenton's victory was their 17th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games. As for Wewahitchka, the win snapped their losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 2-6 record.

Everything went Trenton's way against Wewahitchka in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, as Trenton made off with a 14-6 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Trenton since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
