The Maize Eagles will challenge the Andover Central Jaguars at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither Maize nor Andover Central posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.
Last Monday, Maize didn't have quite enough to beat Valley Center and fell 2-1.
Gavin Short was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched six innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. That's the fewest earned runs he has allowed since back in April of 2024.
On the hitting side, Maize saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brodie Jarvis, who went 2-for-3 with one double. Parker Meirowsky also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen bases of the season.
Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Andover Central took on Mulvane on Tuesday. Neither the Jaguars nor the Wildcats could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw.
Maize's defeat dropped their record down to 3-3. Andover Central's draw gives them a new season record of 1-2-1.
