We've got a battle between Panthers coming up. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Therrell has three straight wins, Carver has 11 straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
While Therrell's victory against KIPP Atlanta Collegiate wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. Therrell had just enough and edged out KIPP Atlanta Collegiate 7-6 on Friday.
Terrance Jackson and Jaylen Dumas were a major factor no matter where they played. Throwing, Jackson tossed three innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. Meanwhile, Dumas struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off two hits. Those two hits allowed gave him a new career-low. At the plate, Jackson scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2, while Dumas went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and two RBI. Those two RBI gave Dumas a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Christian Goza, who scored a run and stole two bases. The team also got some help courtesy of Jacobii Turner, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases.
Meanwhile, Carver fell victim to Lovett and their airtight pitching crew last Friday. They came up short against the Lions, falling 15-0.
Therrell's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-6. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to strikeouts: they averaged an imposing 8.33 strikeouts in those games compared to only 3.89 in the others. As for Carver, their loss dropped their record down to 0-7.
Therrell skirted past Carver 2-1 in their previous matchup back in February of 2019. Will Therrell repeat their success, or does Carver has a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
