Heyworth is a perfect 4-0 against Central A & M since March of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Heyworth Hornets will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Central A & M Raiders at 4:30 p.m. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
Heyworth barely beat Delavan the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Heyworth put the hurt on Delavan with a sharp 12-4 victory on Tuesday. The Hornets haven't had any issues with the Panthers recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive win against them.
Natalie Kopp spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Sidney Ditchen, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Grace Streenz was another key player, going 3-for-5 with three doubles, two RBI, and one run.
Ditchen wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Heyworth kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Delavan only managed eight hits.
Meanwhile, Central A & M took care of business in their home opener (barely) on Monday. They had just enough and edged out Argenta-Oreana 12-11. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Raiders have posted since April 15, 2024.
Heyworth came out on top in a nail-biter against Central A & M in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, sneaking past 6-5. Will Heyworth repeat their success, or does Central A & M have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
