The St. John Paul II Panthers are headed away from home for the first time to face off against the Marianna Bulldogs at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Neither St. John Paul II nor Marianna posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.
St. John Paul II is leaving town to face Marianna after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. St. John Paul II lost 7-1 to Blountstown on Thursday.
AMANDA THOMPSON spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and five unearned) runs on four hits and racked up 17 Ks.
On the hitting side, SHAVON STEWART was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring a run and stealing three bases while going 1-for-3.
Meanwhile, Thursday just wasn't the day for Marianna's offense. They came up short against Florida State University High School on Thursday, falling 15-0. The Bulldogs just can't catch a break and have now endured four losses in a row dating back to last season.
