The Millry Wildcats will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Excel Panthers at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Millry is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They came up short against University Charter on Friday, falling 12-2.
Meanwhile, Excel took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Friday. They put the hurt on Straughn with a sharp 13-1 victory. The Panthers haven't had any issues with the Tigers recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive win against them.
The team relied heavily on Greyson Nettles, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March of 2025. The team also got some help courtesy of JP Norris, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs.
Excel always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .607. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Straughn only posted an OBP of .316.
Millry was able to grind out a solid victory over Excel in their previous matchup back in April of 2025, winning 4-0. Do the Wildcats have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Panthers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
