Andover hasn't had much luck against Fillmore recently, but that could start to change on Wednesday. The Panthers are taking a road trip to square off against the Eagles at 5:30 p.m. Andover will be strutting in after a victory while Fillmore will be coming in after a defeat.
It was a proper cat-fight when Andover faced off against Hinsdale Central on Friday. The Panthers blew past the Bobcats 19-1. The win continues a trend for the Panthers in their matchups with the Bobcats: they've now won three in a row.
Meanwhile, Fillmore fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Avoca Central on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Tigers by a score of 4-3.
Damon Potter was huge no matter where he played even without the win. He struck out 13 batters over 5.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and only one walk). That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in April of 2024. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
Potter wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Isaac Wilcox, who scored a run while going 1-for-4. Another was Avery Potter, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI.
Andover might still be hurting after the 17-2 loss they got from Fillmore in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Can the Panthers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
