Sandwich has gone a perfect 3-0 against Serena recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Indians will take on the Huskers at 4:30 p.m. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
On Friday, Sandwich didn't have quite enough to beat Earlville and fell 3-2.
Griffin Somlock was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over 5.2 innings pitched. What's more, he gave up only three hits, the fewest he's had since back in April.
On the hitting side, Sandwich saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Chase Clark, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.
Meanwhile, Serena was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their sixth straight loss. They lost 9-1 to Yorkville Christian.
Serena's defeat dropped their record down to 5-16. As for Sandwich, their loss ended a five-game streak of away wins and brought them to 15-14.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Sandwich has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Serena struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Sandwich took their win against Serena when the teams last played back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 8-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Indians since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
