The Round Lake Panthers are taking a road trip to challenge the Woodstock Blue Streaks at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Neither Round Lake nor Woodstock posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.
Round Lake can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Tuesday. They lost 13-0 to Zion-Benton. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it 17 in a row.
Round Lake saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Christopher Amaral, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base. That's the most hits Amaral has posted since back in April of 2024.
Meanwhile, Woodstock was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their sixth straight defeat dating back to last season. They came up short against Wauconda, falling 14-2.
Round Lake skirted past Woodstock 6-5 in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Round Lake since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
