The Clinch County Panthers will venture away from home to face off against the Valwood Valiants at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Clinch County didn't have the best season last year (they finished 9-17), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over Atkinson County on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Valwood, who bounced back after a loss on the road two weeks ago. They blew past Crisp Academy 12-4 last Tuesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Valiants considering their one-run performance the match before.
Abi Brooks was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and a triple. That triple was her first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Haidi Vu, who scored a run and stole two bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
