Thornton Academy is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That somehow still isn't as good as their 9-1-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.1 runs over those games. As for Marshwood, their victory bumped their record up to 10-1.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Marshwood has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Thornton Academy struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.5 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Marshwood couldn't quite get it done against Thornton Academy in their previous matchup back in May of 2024 as they fell 4-0. Will the Hawks have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
