The Saluda Tigers are taking a road trip to take on the Barnwell Warhorses at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Saluda is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.1 runs per game this season.
Saluda took a loss when they played away from home on Monday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Wednesday. They had just enough and edged out Mid-Carolina 3-2. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Tigers have posted since March 25th.
Saluda got a great performance from Kylee McGlohorn as she tossed six innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits. McGlohorn has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Saluda's victory was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Miller Martin, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and one run.
Meanwhile, after a string of 13 wins, Barnwell's good fortune finally ran out on Wednesday. They fell just short of South Aiken by a score of 6-5. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last seven times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Abigail Corley made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one home run and three RBI.
Saluda's win was their 11th straight at home, which pushed their record up to 18-4-1. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.1 runs over those games. As for Barnwell, their loss dropped their record down to 18-4.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Thursday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Saluda has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 10.2 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Barnwell struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 9.5 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Saluda beat Barnwell 8-3 in their previous meeting back in March. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
