Juab has gone a perfect 10-0 against Delta recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Wasps will square off against the Rabbits at 3:00 p.m. Juab will be looking to extend their current nine-game winning streak.

Juab had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt American Leadership Academy on Wednesday. The Wasps blew past the Eagles 7-0. The Wasps might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by six runs or more this season.

Corbin Buchanan looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Hayden Adams, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Jimmy Larsen also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

Meanwhile, Delta can bid farewell to their five-game losing streak thanks to their game on Wednesday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Providence Hall 9-7. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Rabbits have posted since March 12, 2024.

Hunt Robinson was excellent, going 2-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Ty Stefanoff, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Juab's victory was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 11-3. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Delta, their record now sits at 8-6.

Juab came out on top in a nail-biter against Delta when the teams last played on Tuesday, sneaking past 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wasps since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
