Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Whiteland). They were the clear victors by a 14-3 margin over Greenwood on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Plainfield has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 8.2 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Whiteland struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Plainfield came up short against Whiteland in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, falling 9-6. Can the Quakers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
