The Stevens Point Panthers will head out to challenge the Oshkosh West Wildcats at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Panthers fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Thursday's season opener. They blew past New London 17-10 on Thursday.
Aubree Itzen was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs. Another player making a difference was Callie Diekhus, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, three doubles, and one RBI.
Five must be Oshkosh West's lucky number: they beat West Allis Hale with that score not once but twice last Thursday. The Wildcats beat the Huskies by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 5-4. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Wildcats.
Stevens Point skirted past Oshkosh West 16-15 in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
