The Plant Panthers will take on the Steinbrenner Warriors at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Plant will be looking to extend their current five-game winning streak.
Plant is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 8-6 victory over Armwood.
The team relied heavily on URBAN ELLIS, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of DESAN DECAMP, who scored a run while going 2-for-2.
ELLIS wasn't the only one making solid contact: Plant kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since back in February of 2024.
Meanwhile, Steinbrenner's hitters rose to the challenge against a Cowboys pitching crew that boasted an average of only 3.58 runs allowed on Tuesday. The Warriors put the hurt on Gaither with a sharp 10-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Warriors, who have now won eight games by eight runs or more so far this season.
Ty Ciccarello was excellent, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two RBI and one double. Those two RBI gave him a new career-high.
Steinbrenner has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-11 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Plant, their record is now 19-6.
Plant beat Steinbrenner 4-1 in their previous matchup back in February. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
