Maple Grove is 3-0 against Randolph since May of 2017, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. After both having extra time off, the pair will shake off the cobwebs and take on one another at 5:00 p.m. Randolph took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Maple Grove, who comes in off a win.
Maple Grove took care of business in their home opener last Wednesday (and then some). They were the clear victor by a 12-4 margin over Falconer.
Nate Cornell made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. Cornell was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Sean Verbosky, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Drew Oste, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, Randolph was not able to break out of their rough patch last Friday as the team picked up their 21st straight defeat. They fell just short of Salamanca by a score of 14-13. Both teams can probably skip cardio this week after making that many trips around the bases.
Bryson Pitts was cooking despite his team's loss, scoring two runs while going 1-for-4. Wyatt Weaver was another key contributor, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-5.
Maple Grove came out on top in a nail-biter against Randolph in their previous meeting back in May of 2023, sneaking past 7-6. Will Maple Grove repeat their success, or does Randolph have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
