Fort Wayne South Side and Marion are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2015, but likely not for long. The Archers will square off against the Giants at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Fort Wayne South Side can't be too happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season away from home last Thursday. They came up short against West Noble, falling 15-1. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.
Fort Wayne South Side saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Delayna Cartwright, who went 1-for-2 with one run.
Meanwhile, Marion didn't have quite enough to beat Wabash on Friday and fell 5-4. The loss continues a trend for the Giants in their meetings with the Apaches: they've now lost three in a row.
Aly Earnest put in work while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up just one earned run but no hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI. That double was her first of the season.
In other batting news, Jasmine Weaver was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
Fort Wayne South Side came out on top in a nail-biter against Marion in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, sneaking past 19-18. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Archers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
