The Valwood Valiants will venture away from home to take on the Crisp Academy Wildcats at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Crisp Academy took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Valwood, who comes in off a win.
While Valiants fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Monday's season opener. They put the hurt on Echols County with a sharp 14-0 win on Monday.
Abi Brooks was a standout: she scored three runs while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Annasten Creech, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with a home run, three RBI, and two runs.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Valwood always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .594. The last time their OBP was this high was back in August of 2023.
Meanwhile, Crisp Academy was not able to break out of their rough patch on Monday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They took a 12-7 hit to the loss column at the hands of Wilcox County. That's two games in a row now that the Wildcats have lost by exactly five runs.
Valwood couldn't quite finish off Crisp Academy when the teams last played back in October of 2023 and fell 8-6. Can Valwood avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
