The Millard North Mustangs will face off against the DeSoto Central Jaguars at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
After dropping their season opener at home, DeSoto Central is headed out to face a Mustangs squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Millard North took a 13-8 hit to the loss column at the hands of Grand Island on Friday. Surprisingly, this marked the fifth straight game that the away team has come away the victor.
Chase Machal led a balanced group of hitters, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Jackson Smith, who scored two runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
Even though they lost, Millard North hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Grand Island struck out 11 times.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask DeSoto Central). They were the clear victors by a 20-1 margin over Horn Lake on Tuesday. Winning may never get old, but the Jaguars sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.
