Wauzeka-Steuben has gone 8-2 against Kickapoo recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Hornets will host the Panthers at 5:00 p.m. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Having struggled with six losses in a row, Wauzeka-Steuben turned things around against Brookwood on Tuesday. They skirted past the Falcons 5-3. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Hornets have posted since May 19, 2025.
Josh Martin was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off eight hits (and not a single walk). Martin was also big at the plate, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kickapoo). Their pitchers stepped up to hand La Farge a 10-0 shutout on Tuesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Panthers considering their one-run performance the matchup before.
