The Williston Red Devils will be playing at home against the Trenton Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
On Thursday, Williston came up short against Chiefland and fell 7-4. Williston has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Nevaeh Hayes spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just zero earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't pitched less than five innings in three consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Williston saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jayla Coleman, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-4.
Meanwhile, after an 11-10 finish the last time they played, Trenton and Suwannee decided to play a little more cautiously this time around. Trenton's pitcher stepped up to hand Suwannee a 2-0 shutout last Thursday. The win made it back-to-back victories for Trenton.
Not much got past Addison Allaire, who gave up just one hit and racked up 16 Ks to keep Suwannee off the board.
Williston's loss dropped their record down to 8-7. As for Trenton, their victory bumped their record up to 9-1.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Williston has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Trenton struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8 per game. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Williston might still be hurting after the 12-1 defeat they got from Trenton in their previous meeting back in February. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Allaire, who struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and only one walk). Now that Williston knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
