Goshen is preparing for their first conference matchup of the season on Wednesday. They will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Batavia Bulldogs at 4:30 p.m. The two teams are strolling into their games after big wins in their previous games.
Goshen is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Bethel-Tate. Goshen put the hurt on Bethel-Tate with a sharp 12-2 victory on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Batavia's rock-solid pitchers showed up for the team's third consecutive shutout on Monday. They never let Wilmington get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. Fans of the Bulldogs have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season has ended in a blowout of 6+ runs.
Batavia let Brayden Schmittou and Bryce Eads run wild. Schmittou scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances, while Eads scored two runs while going 4-for-4. Those four hits gave Eads a new career-high. Mason Patrick was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
They weren't the only ones working in the hit department: Batavia kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wilmington only managed three hits.
Goshen couldn't quite get it done against Batavia in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 as they fell 5-1. Can Goshen avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
