The Goshen RedHawks will be playing in front of their home fans against the NorthWood Panthers at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Goshen 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 skirted past Wawasee 2-1.
Kyan Miller spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered one run (which was unearned) on two hits and racked up ten Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't pitched less than five innings in four consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, Goshen saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Bryson Wilson, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, NorthWood sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over Mishawaka on Friday.
The team relied heavily on Carson Mashack, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, a stolen base, and a double. Another player making a difference was Connor Reed, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
Goshen's win bumped their record up to 9-13. As for NorthWood, their victory bumped their record up to 13-10.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Goshen has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like NorthWood struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.6. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Goshen skirted past NorthWood 2-0 in their previous matchup back in April. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was NorthWood's Mason Bogan, who didn't allow a single earned run and only two hits over six innings pitched. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Goshen still be able to contain Bogan? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
