The Slocomb Red Tops will take on the Opp Bobcats in a tournament on Friday. Slocomb has given up an average of 6.8 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week.
Slocomb is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 13 runs on Tuesday, they were much more limited against Wicksburg on Thursday. They lost 21-0 to the Panthers. The Red Tops haven't had much luck with the Panthers recently, as the team has come up short the last seven times they've met.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Opp). They never let Straughn get on the board and left with a 15-0 win on Thursday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Bobcats considering their two-run performance the match before.
Slocomb now has a losing record of 7-8. As for Opp, their victory bumped their record up to 11-7.
Slocomb might still be hurting after the 6-0 loss they got from Opp in their previous meeting back in March of 2021. Can Slocomb avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
