The Declo Hornets will take on the Filer Wildcats at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
After dropping their season opener at home, Filer is headed out to face a Hornets squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Declo fell just short of Buhl by a score of 6-5 on Wednesday. The Hornets have struggled against the Indians recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost meetings.
Makendrie Harris spent all 7.2 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on four hits and racked up 14 Ks.
On the hitting side, Teagan Wickel was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Saige Wickel, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Filer made easy work of Wendell on Thursday and carried off a 17-5 win.
The team relied heavily on Alexis Gould, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Madilyne Dyer, who scored two runs while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Filer always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .647. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wendell only posted an OBP of .360.
Declo suffered a grim 14-4 defeat to Filer when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Will Declo have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
