Seven Rivers Christian is 0-8 against Williston since February of 2021 but things could change on Monday. The Seven Rivers Christian Warriors will look to defend their home field against the Williston Red Devils at 6:00 p.m.
Seven Rivers Christian is headed into Monday's game looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their fifth straight game on Thursday. They were two runs away from ending the streak, but they lost a 2-0 heartbreaker at the hands of Weeki Wachee.
While Williston didn't have the best season last year (they finished 9-19), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They blew past Crescent City 17-1 on Friday. The Red Devils might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matches by nine runs or more this season.
Anthony Gardea made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in April of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 1-for-2.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Blake Martin, who scored two runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (three). Braige Schneider was another key player, going 2-for-4 with four RBI, one run, and one double.
Williston has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. Seven Rivers Christian's loss dropped their record down to 3-8.
Monday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Seven Rivers Christian has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .444. However, it's not like Williston struggles in that department as they've averaged .466. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Seven Rivers Christian might still be hurting after the 10-0 defeat they got from Williston in their previous matchup back in February.
