Thompson and Grand Forks Central are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2016, but likely not for long. The Tommies will challenge the Knights at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Grand Forks Central took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Thompson, who comes in off a win.
While Tommies fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They were the clear victors by a 16-5 margin over Valley City on Friday.
Mya Warcken was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. What's more, she posted two RBI, the most she's had since back in May of 2024. Fiona Hendrickson was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one triple and one RBI.
Thompson always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Valley City only posted an OBP of .417.
The home team had won the previous five meetings between Grand Forks Central and Minot, and Minot kept the tradition alive. The Knights came up short against the Magicians on Friday, falling 14-4. That's two games in a row now that the Knights have lost by exactly ten runs.
Thompson took their victory against Grand Forks Central in their previous matchup back in May of 2024 by a conclusive 19-8 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tommies since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
