The Whitefish Bay Blue Dukes will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Port Washington Pirates at 4:45 p.m. on Thursday.
Whitefish Bay is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They came up short against Hartford on Tuesday, falling 10-0. The Blue Dukes haven't had much luck with the Orioles recently, as the team has come up short the last five times they've met.
Meanwhile, Port Washington hadn't done well against Slinger recently (they were 0-8 in their previous eight matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Pirates narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Owls 12-11.
The team relied heavily on Hope Gilhooly, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and four RBI while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Abbey Grisar, who scored two runs while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Whitefish Bay couldn't quite finish off Port Washington in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 and fell 5-3. Will the Blue Dukes 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.
