We've got a battle between Wildcats coming up. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Jefferson has three straight wins, Kalida has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Jefferson barely beat Van Wert the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Jefferson never let Van Wert get on the board and left with a 15-0 victory on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won three games by ten runs or more so far this season.
Meanwhile, Kalida lost 22-3 to Patrick Henry on Saturday.
Jefferson's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for Kalida, their loss dropped their record down to 0-3.
Everything went Jefferson's way against Kalida in their previous matchup back in March of 2024, as Jefferson made off with a 17-4 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Jefferson since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
