Langston Hughes is 1-9 against Westlake since March of 2021 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Wednesday. The Panthers will take on the Lions at 6:00 p.m.
Langston Hughes is leaving town to face Westlake after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Panthers lost 10-0 to Creekside on Tuesday. Surprisingly, this marked the fourth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor in this series.
Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Westlake took on Jackson on Tuesday. The Lions blew past the Jaguars 16-3.
Myles Thomas looked comfortable as he tossed 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (five).
At the plate, Cedric Langford was a standout: he went 3-for-4 with five stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged three or more in each of the last three games he's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Grant Bartell, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with five stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI.
Langston Hughes might still be hurting after the 27-2 defeat they got from Westlake in their previous meeting back in February of 2025. Can the Panthers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
