After two games on the road, Person is heading back home. They will take on the Orange Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
On Monday, Person suffered a tough 12-1 defeat at the hands of South Granville.
Person saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kenzley Horne, who went 2-for-2 with a double. Another player making a difference was Liberty Jones, who scored a run and stole two bases.
Meanwhile, Orange waltzed into their contest on Friday with five straight wins... but they left with six. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Fighting Red Wolves a 3-0 shutout. Give Orange's pitching crew some credit: that's the team's third straight shutout.
Caden Robinson was a major factor no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out nine over seven innings pitched. Robinson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't pitched less than five innings in 13 consecutive pitching appearances. Robinson was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.
Person dropped their record down to 3-11 with that loss, which was their seventh straight on the road. As for Orange, their victory bumped their record up to 14-2.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Person has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Orange struggles in that department as they've been averaging 2.8. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Person couldn't quite finish off Orange when the teams last played last Monday and fell 4-2. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Robinson, who struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and only one walk). Now that Person knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
