The Euclid Panthers are taking a road trip to challenge the Lorain Titans at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Euclid has given up an average of 9.3 runs per game this season, but Wednesday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Euclid is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Shaker Heights just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Monday. They lost 17-4 to the Raiders. The game marked the Panthers' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lorain). They put the hurt on Cleveland Heights with a sharp 22-2 win on Monday. The Titans have beaten the Tigers the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Tigers has come to flipping the script.
Olivia Charlton was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. Charlton was even better at the plate, going 4-for-5 with six stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. Those six stolen bases gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Mackenzie Paslawski was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with seven stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games she's played. Another player making a difference was Vada Blankenship, who went 3-for-4 with seven stolen bases and four runs.
Lorain always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .756. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Cleveland Heights only posted an OBP of .348.
Lorain's record is now 2-4. As for Euclid, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-2.
Euclid might still be hurting after the 17-8 loss they got from Lorain in their previous meeting back in April of 2025. Can the Panthers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
