The LeRoy Panthers will head out to take on the Watseka Warriors at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. LeRoy is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.6 runs per game this season.
Eureka hit LeRoy with a seven-run second inning on Friday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Panthers fell 9-5 to the Hornets. The Panthers haven't had much luck with the Hornets recently, as the team has come up short the last eight times they've met.
Tate Harden was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he didn't allow a single earned run over 4.1 innings pitched.
On the hitting side, Bo Zeleznik was cooking despite his team's loss, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs.
Meanwhile, Watseka narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past Georgetown-Ridge Farm/Chrisman 4-3.
Watseka is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-10 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.4 runs over those games. As for LeRoy, their loss dropped their record down to 13-6.
Watseka's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: LeRoy hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .315. It's a different story for Watseka, though, as they've only averaged .207. Will they be able to contain LeRoy's hitters?
LeRoy skirted past Watseka 3-2 in their previous matchup back in May of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
