The Otsego Knights are taking a road trip to challenge the Maumee Panthers at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Otsego will be looking to extend their current four-game winning streak.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Otsego and Elmwood meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. The Knights walked away with a 5-1 victory over the Royals.
The team relied heavily on Bodde Simon, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Lincoln Ferdig, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Maumee, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They won by a run and slipped past Swanton 5-4. The Panthers haven't had any issues with the Bulldogs recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive win against them.
Maumee's victory was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-3. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.8 runs over those games. As for Otsego, their victory bumped their record up to 9-3.
Otsego beat Maumee 6-1 in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Will the Knights repeat their success, or do the Panthers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
