The Goshen Warriors will square off against the Fairmont Firebirds at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Goshen is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.1 runs per game this season.
Goshen managed to slip by Western Brown the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Warriors lost 9-1 to the Broncos on Wednesday. The contest marked the Warriors' lowest-scoring match so far this season.
Goshen saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Macee Stelle, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one RBI.
Meanwhile, Fairmont fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Springboro on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Panthers by a score of 8-6. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Firebirds have suffered against the Panthers since April 18, 2019.
Jaylin Turner put in work while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over 8.1 innings while giving up four earned (and four unearned) runs off 13 hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. That home run marked the first that she launched this season.
This is the second loss in a row for Fairmont and nudges their season record down to 5-3. Even worse, they were so close both times: the defeats came by an average of only 1.5 runs. As for Goshen, their loss dropped their record down to 7-3.
Both Goshen and Fairmont just can't seem to miss. The Warriors have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.6 hits per game. However, it's not like Fairmont struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 5.5 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance. Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
