The Grace Lancers are taking a road trip to take on the Polytechnic Panthers at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Grace took a loss when they played away from home on Tuesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Wednesday. They put the hurt on Buena with a sharp 13-6 win. The Lancers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by six runs or more this season.
Meanwhile, Polytechnic came tearing into Wednesday's matchup with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They skirted past the Wolverines 5-3.
The team relied heavily on Dannika Rivera, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. She is on a roll when it comes to RBI, as she's now brought in three or more in each of the last three games she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Brynn Connolly, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run.
Polytechnic's victory bumped their record up to 8-2. As for Grace, the win got them back to even at 7-7.
Grace got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in February of 2019 against Polytechnic by a conclusive 11-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Lancers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
