The Osceola Warriors are taking a road trip to take on the Hollins Royals at 7:00 p.m. Osceola's pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so Hollins' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Osceola came into their game on Friday off a hard-fought close win, but unfortunately suffered a serious change of fortune. They came up short against Venice, falling 10-2. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for the Warriors, who until this matchup were averaging four runs allowed.
Osceola saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ethan Futch, who scored a run while going 1-for-2. Ian Dunn also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.

Hollins' victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 3-3.

Osceola beat Hollins 13-8 in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Osceola since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
