The Greenway Demons will venture away from home to face off against the Prescott Badgers at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Greenway's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last eight matchups.
Greenway's pitching crew heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Thursday. They put the hurt on Moon Valley with a sharp 15-0 win. The Demons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 contests by eight runs or more this season.
Moon Valley's batters probably weren't too happy with Jordyn Schad, who pitched a no hitter (she gave up a single walk). Schad has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Greenway got a massive performance out of Daniella Johnson, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most hits Johnson has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Kaitlyn Bennett, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
Greenway hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least two batters in five consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, Prescott lost 16-4 to Lee Williams on Thursday. The Badgers have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Greenway pushed their record up to 12-6-1 with the victory, which was their 14th straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for Prescott, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-8.
Greenway beat Prescott 7-4 in their previous meeting back in April of 2017. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Demons since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
