The Manti Templars are taking a road trip to take on the Millard Eagles at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. Manti is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.1 runs per game this season.
Manti is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering North Sanpete just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Tuesday. They fell just short of the Hawks by a score of 2-1.
Zach Blackham was huge no matter where he played even without the win. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one run and one double.
Blackham wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Carter Keisel, who went 1-for-2 with one RBI.
Meanwhile, Millard hadn't done well against South Sevier recently (they were 0-8 in their previous eight matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Wednesday. The Eagles had just enough and edged out the Rams 13-11. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Eagles as it put an end to their four-game losing streak.
Bodie Memmott was excellent, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances with three runs, four RBI, and two doubles. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in April of 2025. Cyson Kunz also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Manti's loss was their first in the region, dropping their region record down to 4-1 and their overall record down to 11-7. As for Millard, their victory bumped their record up to 4-11.
Manti was able to grind out a solid win over Millard in their previous meeting back in April of 2023, winning 14-9. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Templars since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
