The Woodhaven Warriors will head out on the road to face off against the Algonac Muskrats at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Woodhaven is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.6 runs per game this season.
Woodhaven is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Chelsea just ended the team's 11-game winning streak on Tuesday. They took a 3-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bulldogs. The game marked the first time this season in which the Warriors were not able to get on the board.
Natilee Pridemore spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on eight hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.
Meanwhile, Algonac had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3.3 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-1 win over the Raiders.
Algonac also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Jaycee Reams gave up a run (which was unearned) on four hits and racked up eight Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Ava Murray, who went 3-for-4 with two runs. Those two runs gave her a new career-high.
Algonac now has a winning record of 13-12-1. As for Woodhaven, their loss dropped their record down to 26-5.
Thursday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Woodhaven hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .403. However, it's not like Algonac struggles in that department as they've averaged .319. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Everything went Woodhaven's way against Algonac when the teams last played back in April of 2024, as Woodhaven made off with a 15-2 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
