Triad and Waterloo are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2019, but likely not for long. The Knights are taking a road trip to challenge the Bulldogs at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Triad is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.8 runs per game this season.
Triad took a loss when they played away from home on Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Monday. They had just enough and edged out Mascoutah 5-4.
Triad saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Peyton Horn, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Waterloo came tearing into Monday's matchup with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Panthers a 3-0 shutout.
The result came thanks to Aidan Dintelman's shutout, as she gave up just two hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances.
Waterloo's victory was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 12-2. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Triad, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-6 record this season.
Wednesday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Triad hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .364. However, it's not like Waterloo struggles in that department as they've averaged .372. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Triad might still be hurting after the 13-7 loss they got from Waterloo in their previous meeting on April 14th. Can the Knights avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
