The Wilmot Panthers are taking a road trip to challenge the East Troy Trojans at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Neither Wilmot nor East Troy posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.

Seth Lingford spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
