The Wood Memorial Trojans are headed away from home for the first time to take on the Eastern Greene Thunderbirds at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Wood Memorial made up a huge gap compared to their last game against South Knox, but they still couldn't quite topple them. The Trojans blew past the Spartans 10-3 on Wednesday. The Trojans not only won on Wednesday, but they posted their biggest win since April 27, 2024.
Talan Strickland spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on four hits and racked up eight Ks.
At the plate, Joe Jarboe was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-4. Evan Bartley was another key player, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.
Meanwhile, Eastern Greene took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Wednesday. They were the clear victors by an 11-3 margin over Brown County.
Wood Memorial might still be hurting after the 9-2 loss they got from Eastern Greene when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Can the Trojans avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
