Patrick Henry has gone a perfect 10-0 against Varina recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Patriots will take on the Blue Devils at 6:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Patrick Henry has seven straight wins, Varina has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Patrick Henry will bounce into Monday's game after beating Hanover, who they had gone 0-9 against in their nine prior meetings. The Patriots narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Hawks 1-0. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Patriots have posted since May 16, 2024.
Meanwhile, Varina didn't have quite enough to beat Highland Springs on Friday and fell 10-9.
Rylee Geer was huge no matter where she played even without the win. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over six innings pitched. Geer was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with five stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
Geer wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Julia Anderson, who went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI. Taneah Hicks also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Patrick Henry pushed their record up to 8-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games. As for Varina, their loss dropped their record down to 4-6.
Everything went Patrick Henry's way against Varina in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, as Patrick Henry made off with an 8-2 victory.
