Buckeye Local had lost three straight on the road, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 2-7 to make it four. They took an 8-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Beaver Local Beavers. The Panthers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Beavers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2019.
Beaver Local's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-8. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
For Beaver Local's part, Paxton Grimes made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off seven hits. Grimes was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one run and one double.
Grimes wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Britton Hickman, who went 1-for-3 with two runs. That's the most runs Hickman has posted since back in April of 2024. Another was Andre Wiegand, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
Buckeye Local has already played their next match (against Edison), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Beaver Local will be paying especially close attention to the Panthers' game: after the Panthers face off against the Wildcats, they'll take on Beaver Local again at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
