Parma and Melba are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2019, but likely not for long. The Panthers will venture away from home to take on the Mustangs at 5:30 p.m. on Monday.
New Plymouth hit Parma with a four-run seventh inning on Friday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Panthers fell 6-3 to the Pilgrims. The Panthers have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Parma saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kaden Cole, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Melba). Everything went their way against Vision on Thursday as they made off with a 20-0 victory. The win continues a trend for the Mustangs in their matchups with Vision: they've now won seven in a row.
CJ Husted made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Husted was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with three runs and one RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April of 2025.
Melba always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .575. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Vision only posted an OBP of .235.
Parma's loss dropped their record down to 5-9. As for Melba, their victory bumped their record up to 13-2.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Parma has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Melba struggles in that department as they've been averaging 4.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Parma beat Melba 4-1 when the teams last played back in May of 2025. Will the Panthers repeat their success, or do the Mustangs have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
