The Canute Trojans are taking a road trip to face off against the El Reno Indians at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
The home team had won the previous three meetings between Canute and Binger-Oney, and Canute kept the tradition alive. The Trojans' pitchers stepped up to hand the Bobcats a 12-0 shutout on Monday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Trojans needed considering they were shut out in their previous game.
El Reno came out on top against Southeast on Monday thanks in part to the team's impressive nine-run second inning. The Indians blew past the Spartans 11-0. The Indians haven't had any issues with the Spartans recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.
El Reno got a big performance out of Ayden Overholser, who got on base in both of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. Overholser is becoming a predictor of the Indians' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-6 when he doesn't). Trevor Felz also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
El Reno always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .650. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Southeast only posted an OBP of .111.
El Reno now has a winning record of 7-6. As for Canute, their win bumped their record up to 9-3.
Canute got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in March of 2021 against El Reno by a conclusive 15-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Trojans since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
