Stanley has gone a perfect 6-0 against Byrd recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Panthers will take on the Yellow Jackets at 6:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Stanley has four straight wins, Byrd has six straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.

For some reason, the away team has come away with the win the last five times Stanley and Haughton have met, but the home crowd finally got their W on Saturday. The Panthers blew past the Buccaneers 14-4. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by ten runs or more this season.

Paige Campbell spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on three hits.

At the plate, Stanley got a massive performance out of Jade Jones, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Harper Rutherford, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI.

Stanley always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .541. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Haughton only posted an OBP of .182.

Meanwhile, Byrd scored the most runs they've had this season on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough. They took an 11-7 hit to the loss column at the hands of Logansport.

Byrd's loss dropped their record down to 0-4. As for Stanley, their victory bumped their record up to 6-2.

Stanley got the 'W' in their previous matchup two weeks ago against Byrd by a conclusive 10-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
