The Corcoran Panthers will head out on the road to take on the Woodlake Tigers at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Corcoran will be looking to extend their current nine-game winning streak.
Corcoran had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Strathmore on Thursday. The Panthers blew past the Spartans 10-0. Considering the Panthers have won 13 matches by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Corcoran let Brennan Botill and Brayden Espinoza run wild. Botill went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI, while Espinoza went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases Botill has posted since back in March.
Corcoran always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .556. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in four consecutive games.
Meanwhile, Woodlake and Farmersville finished up their contest with a 13-13 draw on Thursday.
Corcoran's victory was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 20-4. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. Woodlake's draw makes their record 15-8-1 this season.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Corcoran has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 6.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Woodlake struggles in that department as they've been averaging 5 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Corcoran came out on top in a nail-biter against Woodlake when the teams last played back in April, sneaking past 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
