The Arendell Parrott Academy Patriots are taking a road trip to take on the Halifax Academy Vikings at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Arendell Parrott Academy can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Tuesday. They lost 14-5 to Harrells Christian Academy. The Patriots haven't had much luck with the Crusaders recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.
Meanwhile, Halifax Academy earned a 5-1 win over Ridgecroft on Monday. The Vikings haven't had any issues with the Rams recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive victory against them.
Payton Odom was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out 14 over seven innings pitched. The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in strikeouts. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Odom wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Teagan Hamill, who scored a run while going 3-for-4. Another was Emma Inscoe, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.
Arendell Parrott Academy was able to grind out a solid win over Halifax Academy in their previous matchup back in April of 2021, winning 6-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for Arendell Parrott Academy since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
