The Staten Island Academy Tigers will head out on the road to challenge the Luther Cougars at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
Staten Island Academy is headed out to face Luther after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they we're looking for. Staten Island Academy won by a run and slipped past Luther 12-11.
For Luther's part, Delilah Tavarez and Haliey Melio did some serious damage despite the final result: Tavarez scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances, while Melio scored a run and stole two bases while going 2-for-4. Another player making a difference was Serena Lopez, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-4.
Even though they lost, Luther always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .581. That's the best OBP they've managed all season.
Staten Island Academy skirted past Luther 12-11 in their previous meeting last Tuesday. The rematch might be a little tougher for Staten Island Academy since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
