The Monticello Billies will head out to challenge the Magnolia Panthers at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Monticello fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against White Hall on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Bulldogs by a score of 5-3. The Billies have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Tye Guthrie put in work no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. Guthrie was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with one RBI.
Meanwhile, Magnolia didn't have quite enough to beat Lake Hamilton on Thursday and fell 4-3. The contest marked the Panthers' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
Magnolia has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Monticello now has a losing record of 2-3.
