The Darlington Tigers will welcome the Model Blue Devils at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
After dropping their season opener at home, Model is headed out to face a Tigers squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Darlington lost 13-3 to Chattooga on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, after some red-hot attacks at the plate in their last three matchups, Model finally came back down to earth on Tuesday. They lost 9-2 to Fannin County. The game marked the Blue Devils' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
Model saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Javia Samples, who went 2-for-4 with a stolen base. Samples is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: she's stolen at least one every time she's taken the field this season. Kylie Porter also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Everything went Darlington's way against Model when the teams last played back in September of 2023 as Darlington made off with an 8-0 victory. Does Darlington have another victory up their sleeve, or will Model turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
