The Wilmot Panthers are headed away from home for the first time to challenge the Kettle Moraine Lasers at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Panthers fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They walked away with a 6-1 victory over Zion-Benton on Friday.
Mason Lang looked comfortable as he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (four).
At the plate, Wilmot's win was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Chance Ruby, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 2-for-4. That's the most stolen bases Ruby has posted since back in April of 2024. Another was Ryan Watson, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Kettle Moraine had just enough and edged out Watertown 5-3 on Friday.
