The Peru Tigers are taking a road trip to take on the Southwood Knights at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Peru is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.6 runs per game this season.
The scorekeeper got an easy start on Wednesday as neither Peru nor Lewis Cass made it on the board until the fifth inning. The Tigers walked away with a 3-0 victory over the Kings. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Tigers.
The result came thanks to Bailee - 'Boo' Kintner's shutout, as she gave up just four hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Peru's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Molly Mann, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
For some reason, the away team has come away with the win the last four times Southwood and Rochester have met, but the home crowd finally got their W on Wednesday. The Knights fell just short of the Zebras by a score of 3-2.
Gracie Lambert made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and got on base in two of her three plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. Rowan Goodpasture also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Southwood's defeat dropped their record down to 4-3. As for Peru, their victory bumped their record up to 5-2.
Monday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Peru hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .348. However, it's not like Southwood struggles in that department as they've averaged .319. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Peru suffered a grim 7-1 defeat to Southwood when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Can the Tigers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
