Harrison and Western are an even 3-3 against one another since April of 2015, but likely not for long. The Raiders will head out to face off against the Panthers at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Harrison is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Indiana's top teams: Cathedral, who was ranked 21st at the time (Harrison was ranked 15th). The Raiders fell 8-3 to the Fighting Irish on Saturday.
Harrison saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Lannon Nicoloff, who went 1-for-3 with one home run. That home run marked the first that Nicoloff has launched this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Western). They put the hurt on North Putnam with a sharp 20-1 victory on Saturday. Considering the Panthers have won 11 matches by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Western pushed their record up to 21-4 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Harrison, their loss dropped their record down to 16-6.
Harrison beat Western 7-4 in their previous matchup back in May of 2023. Do the Raiders have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Panthers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
