Nordonia and Solon are an even 3-3-1 against one another since March of 2016, but likely not for long. The Knights will face off against the Comets at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Nordonia is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.4 runs per game this season.
Wednesday just wasn't the day for Nordonia's offense. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 10-0 to North Royalton, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The defeat continues a trend for the Knights in their meetings with the Bears: they've now lost four in a row.
Meanwhile, Solon made easy work of Stow-Munroe Falls on Wednesday and carried off an 8-2 win. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Comets.
Kassidy Samuelraj spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits and racked up eight Ks.
At the plate, Grace Gerhard was a standout: she scored three runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3. Alyssa Gerome also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
Gerhard wasn't the only one making solid contact: Solon kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in four consecutive games.
Solon pushed their record up to 3-6 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Nordonia, they now have a losing record of 3-4.
Solon's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Nordonia has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.1 hits per game. It's a different story for Solon, though, as they've been averaging 10.9 hits. Given Nordonia's sizable advantage in that area, the Comets will need to find a way to close that gap.
Nordonia took their victory against Solon in their previous matchup on Monday by a conclusive 14-4 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Knights since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
