Honaker and Holston are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2017, but likely not for long. The Tigers will head out on the road to square off against the Cavaliers at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Honaker 2.9, Holston 2.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Holston will be up against a hot Honaker team: the squad just extended their winning streak to three. The Tigers walked away with a 10-6 victory over George Wythe on Wednesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Tigers considering their two-run performance the matchup before.
Gracie Shelton spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on ten hits and racked up 11 Ks.
At the plate, Honaker let Aliyah Hilton and Madayln Dye run wild. Hilton went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs, while Dye went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base. That's the most hits Hilton has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Sophie Campbell, who scored two runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Holston hadn't beaten Patrick Henry on the road since May 11, 2018 but that history sure didn't bother them on Monday. The Cavaliers narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Rebels 8-6.
Holston's victory was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-1. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.4 runs over those games. As for Honaker, their victory bumped their record up to 5-2.
Honaker skirted past Holston 5-4 in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. Will the Tigers repeat their success, or do the Cavaliers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
