Parkersburg South and University are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2019, but likely not for long. The Patriots will welcome the Hawks at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Parkersburg South was handed a heart-breaking two-run defeat in their last match, but they sure didn't let that happen against Warren on Thursday. The Patriots put the hurt on the Warriors with a sharp 18-8 victory. Considering the Patriots have won seven contests by more than eight runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, while University put up plenty of runs on Thursday, the same can't be said for Buckhannon-Upshur. The Hawks blew past the Buccaneers 16-0. With that win, the Hawks brought their scoring average up to 6.4 runs per game.
Jacob Kennison looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because University is 3-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 8-10 otherwise.
At the plate, Max Cash was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of University's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 6-11 when he doesn't). Brance McCune was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
University lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in March of 2024.
Parkersburg South has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-9 record this season.
