Fox Chapel and Plum are an even 3-3 against one another since April of 2015, but likely not for long. Fox Chapel will host Plum at 3:45 p.m. on Thursday. Fox Chapel knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past four games -- so hopefully Plum likes a good challenge.
Fox Chapel's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. Everything went their way against Taylor Allderdice as Fox Chapel made off with a 10-0 win. The Foxes haven't had any issues with the Dragons recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
Meanwhile, Plum fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against Franklin Regional on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Panthers by a score of 8-7. The game marked the Mustangs' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
Mackenzie Marotta spent all 8.2 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned (and three unearned) runs on 12 hits and racked up ten Ks.
On the hitting side, Danielle Pici made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs while going 4-for-4. Another player making a difference was Gia Tavella, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4.
Pici wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Plum kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits every time they've taken the field this season.
Fox Chapel pushed their record up to 3-0-1 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Plum, their loss was their first of the season and makes their record 5-1.
Fox Chapel might still be hurting after the 12-0 defeat they got from Plum in their previous matchup back in April of 2023. Can Fox Chapel avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
