Pine-Richland has gone a perfect 5-0 against Mars recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Pine-Richland Rams will host the Mars Fightin' Planets at 4:15 p.m. After the two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one won't be so lucky on Monday.
If Pine-Richland beats Mars with 11 runs on Monday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two matches with that exact score. Pine-Richland blew past North Allegheny 11-5 on Wednesday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win the Rams have posted against the Tigers since May 5, 2023.
Keegan Deihl looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off two hits.
At the plate, Anthony Mengine was a standout: he scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. What's more, he posted three RBI, the most he's had since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Breck Hemphill, who scored two runs while going 3-for-4.
Pine-Richland always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .535. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as North Allegheny only posted an OBP of .286.
Meanwhile, Mars had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They put the hurt on St. Mary with a sharp 13-1 victory on Thursday. Winning may never get old, but the Fightin' Planets sure are getting used to it with their fourth in a row dating back to last season.
Pine-Richland was able to grind out a solid win over Mars when the teams last played back in April of 2024, winning 6-3. Does Pine-Richland have another victory up their sleeve, or will Mars turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
