Olean is a perfect 10-0 against Southwestern since May of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Huskies will challenge the Trojans at 5:30 p.m. Olean is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.7 runs per game this season.
Olean is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Fredonia just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Thursday. They took a 6-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Hillbillies. Having soared to a lofty ten runs in the game before, the Huskies couldn't push the score so high this time.
Meanwhile, Southwestern got the win against Dunkirk on Wednesday by a conclusive 9-2.
Madi Burnett spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on six hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Siri Dubois, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, two RBI, and one double. Another player making a difference was Kate Casel, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
Olean's loss dropped their record down to 8-7. As for Southwestern, their win bumped their record up to 6-10-1.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Friday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Olean has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.1 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Southwestern struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.9 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Everything went Olean's way against Southwestern in their previous meeting back in April, as Olean made off with a 13-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Huskies since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
