The Bunkie Panthers will face off against the Rayne Wolves at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.
Bunkie had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 13-run drubbing they dealt Northwood on Thursday. Bunkie put the hurt on Northwood with a sharp 17-4 win. Considering the Panthers have won ten matches by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Aubree Ducote looked comfortable as she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). Those seven strikeouts gave her a new career-high.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Brianna LaBorde, who went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and two runs. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Andi Bettevy was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in two of her five plate appearances.
Bunkie always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .526. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Northwood only posted an OBP of .375.
Meanwhile, after only one run in their last game, Rayne made sure to put some runs up on the board against North Vermilion on Thursday. Rayne came out on top against North Vermilion by a score of 11-1 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game).
Bunkie has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 14-11 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. Rayne's win ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 5-13-1.
Bunkie skirted past Rayne 12-11 in their previous matchup back in March. Does Bunkie have another victory up their sleeve, or will Rayne turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
