The Newark Wildcats will venture away from home to take on the Teays Valley Vikings at 5:15 p.m. on Monday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
It was a proper cat-fight when Newark took on Pickerington Central on Thursday. Neither the Wildcats nor the Tigers could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for an 11-11 tie.
Amora Spring spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and ten unearned) runs on 11 hits.
Meanwhile, Teays Valley entered their tilt with Canal Winchester on Thursday with ten consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with 11. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Indians an 18-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Vikings, who have now won ten matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Teays Valley's win was their seventh straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-2. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. Newark's draw gives them a new season record of 4-10-1.
Newark might still be hurting after the 12-2 loss they got from Teays Valley in their previous meeting two weeks ago. Can the Wildcats avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
