Tri-Valley is a perfect 10-0 against Maysville since April of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Scotties will host the Panthers at 5:00 p.m. The timing is sure in Tri-Valley's favor as the squad sits on seven straight wins at home while Maysville has been banged up by four consecutive losses on the road.
Tri-Valley had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt John Glenn on Wednesday. The Scotties never let the Little Muskies get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. The Scotties might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matchups by six runs or more this season.
