The Stryker Panthers will head out on the road to take on the Edon Bombers at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Stryker comes in still looking for their first win of the season.
Stryker fell victim to Holgate and their airtight pitching crew on Thursday. They lost 11-0 to the Tigers.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Edon). They put the hurt on Gorham Fayette with a sharp 24-5 win on Monday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Makayla Anspaugh was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, Kaylynn Bartlett and Nevaeh Smith did most of the damage at the plate: Bartlett went 2-for-3 with two triples, three runs, and three RBI, while Smith got on base in four of her five plate appearances with four runs, one triple, and two RBI. Those two triples gave Bartlett a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Allyson Derck, who went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.
Edon kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.4 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 9.4.
Edon is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.8 runs over those games. As for Stryker, their loss dropped their record down to 0-7.
Stryker couldn't quite get it done against Edon when the teams last played back in May of 2024 as they fell 6-1. Can the Panthers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
