The Steele Canyon Cougars will take on the Madison Warhawks at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Steele Canyon is leaving town to face Madison after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Steele Canyon fell 5-1 to University City on Monday. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it 21 in a row.
Steele Canyon saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Caden Davey, who went 1-for-4 with one double and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Madison had to start their season on the road on Monday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of West Hills by a score of 4-3.
Jeremiah Jennings was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). What's more, he gave up only zero walks, the fewest he's had since back in April of 2024.
At the plate, Dakota James was cooking despite his team's loss, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-2. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March of 2024. Tyler Villegas was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
Even though they lost, Madison hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as West Hills struck out eight times.
Steele Canyon skirted past Madison 2-0 in their previous matchup back in February of 2024. Will Steele Canyon repeat their success, or does Madison have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
