The Jasper Wildcats will head out on the road to face off against the Loogootee Lions at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. Loogootee took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Jasper, who comes in off a win.
Jasper took care of business in their home opener on Thursday (and then some). They blew past Pike Central 9-2.
Brooke Kleiser and Olivia Young did most of the damage at the plate: Kleiser scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3, while Young went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two doubles, and a run. The team also got some help courtesy of Ayla Elkins, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3.
Meanwhile, Loogootee fell victim to Mt. Vernon and their airtight pitching crew on Thursday. They suffered a tough 7-0 defeat at the hands of the Wildcats. Loogootee has struggled against Mt. Vernon recently, as their contest on Thursday was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Jasper came out on top in a nail-biter against Loogootee in their previous matchup back in April of 2023, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for Jasper since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
