The PikeView Panthers will head out on the road to  face off against  the Bluefield Beavers  at 6:00  p.m.  on Monday. PikeView will be looking to extend their current three-game winning streak.
PikeView 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 Castlewood on Saturday. PikeView was the clear victor by  a  10-0 margin over Castlewood. The Panthers not only won  on Saturday, but they posted their biggest win  since May 9, 2024.
Castlewood's batters probably weren't too happy with  Eli Hilling, who pitched a no hitter  and racked up 16 Ks (he gave up zero walks). Hilling has been consistent  recently: he hasn't  given up  a single  hit in three consecutive appearances.
 On the hitting side,  Braden Huggins was  excellent,  scoring two  runs and  stealing two bases while  getting on base  in two of his four plate appearances. The dominant performance also gave  him a new career-high in  RBI (two).  Trenton Tolliver also deserves some recognition as  he  scored his first  run of the season.
Meanwhile, Bluefield came up short against  Princeton on Wednesday, falling  19-5.
 Bluefield saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was  Chris Mills, who  scored a  run while going 2-for-3. Another  was  Isiah Mitchell, who  scored two  runs and  stole a base while  getting on base  in two of his three plate appearances.
 PikeView's victory was  their third straight on the road, which  pushed their record up to 3-1. Those  wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Bluefield, their loss dropped their record down to 0-2.
 PikeView was able to grind out a solid  victory over Bluefield when the teams last played  back in May of 2024, winning  6-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for PikeView since the  team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
