Scarborough's victory was their 13th straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-0. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.1 runs over those games. As for Thornton Academy, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven games. That somehow still isn't as good as their 9-1-1 record this season.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Thornton Academy has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Scarborough struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 5.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Thornton Academy suffered a grim 9-3 defeat to Scarborough when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Can the Trojans avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
