Prospect hasn't had much luck against Christopher recently, but that could start to change on Wednesday. A feisty cat fight will be fought as Prospect Panthers duke it out with Christopher Cougars at 4:00 p.m. Prospect is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 11.4 runs per game this season.
Prospect fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Saratoga on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Falcons by a score of 6-5.
Kendall Tabora spent all 7.2 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and three unearned) runs on six hits and racked up ten Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time she's pitched this season.
