The Little Miami Panthers will head out to take on the Turpin Spartans at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
The home team had come away the winner the last four times Little Miami and Kings had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Panthers' pitchers stepped up to hand the Knights a 2-0 shutout on Wednesday. While the Panthers didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-16), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Jackson Reynolds tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run while striking out six over six innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Little Miami's win was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Colin Milligan, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base. Ian Arthur also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Turpin, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They had just enough and edged out Anderson 2-0. Those two runs were actually the fewest the Spartans have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.
Little Miami's record is now 8-4. As for Turpin, their record now sits at 10-3.
