The Mason Comets will challenge the Springboro Panthers at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both teams are coming into the contest red-hot, with Mason sitting on four straight victories and Springboro on seven.
Mason is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Wednesday. They never let Oak Hills get on the board and left with a 7-0 win. Considering the Comets have won 11 games by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Oak Hills' batters probably weren't too happy with Andrew Visconti, who pitched a no hitter and racked up nine Ks (he gave up four walks). Visconti has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one hit in five consecutive appearances.

Jacob Rhinehart looked comfortable as he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.
At the plate, Jacob Cane was incredible, going 2-for-3 with two triples, three RBI, and one run. Another player making a difference was Micah Brandon, who went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Springboro's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 25-9. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.8 runs over those games. As for Mason, their victory bumped their record up to 22-6.
Everything went Mason's way against Springboro in their previous meeting back in May of 2019, as Mason made off with a 12-6 win. Do the Comets have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Panthers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
