Itawamba Agricultural has gone a perfect 10-0 against Shannon recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Itawamba Agricultural Indians will head out on the road to face off against the Shannon Red Raiders at 6:30 p.m. Itawamba Agricultural is currently enjoying a perfect season and no doubt wants to keep things rolling.

Shannon's hitters are going to have their work cut out for them on Thursday: Itawamba Agricultural hadn't allowed a single run the last four times they've hit the field. Itawamba Agricultural blew past Amory 10-0 on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Indians, who have now won five matches by eight runs or more so far this season.

Itawamba Agricultural got a big performance out of Mollie McGee, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. That's the most hits McGee has posted since back in March of 2024. Alden Kline also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen bases of the season.

Itawamba Agricultural hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most two strikeouts in six consecutive contests.

Meanwhile, neither Shannon nor Potts Camp could gain the upper hand on Tuesday so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 tie. The game marked the first time this season in which the Red Raiders were not able to get on the board.

Itawamba Agricultural's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-0. With that draw, Shannon's record moves to 3-5-1.

Itawamba Agricultural took their win against Shannon in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 24-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Itawamba Agricultural since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
