The Perrysburg Yellow Jackets will venture away from home to take on the Ross Little Giants at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Perrysburg has four straight victories, Ross has five straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Perrysburg is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Saturday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past St. Edward 3-2. That's two games straight that the Yellow Jackets have won by just one run.
Tyler Palmer spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on four hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Braxton Mefferd and Ryan Rettig did most of the damage at the plate: Mefferd got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI, while Rettig got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one run.
Meanwhile, Ross came up short against Central Catholic last Friday and fell 6-2.

Everything went Perrysburg's way against Ross in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, as Perrysburg made off with a 6-0 win.
