The Waldron Mohawks will look to defend their home field on Monday against the Cambridge City Lincoln Golden Eagles at 5:30 p.m. Neither Waldron nor Cambridge City Lincoln posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.
Waldron is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Southwestern just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Saturday. They lost 12-1 to the Spartans.
Meanwhile, Cambridge City Lincoln wound up with the same score they had in their last game (7-2), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time.
Cambridge City Lincoln saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Evan Stuckey, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. Stuckey has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Waldron's defeat dropped their record down to 10-7. As for Cambridge City Lincoln, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost eight of their last nine matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-11 record this season.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Monday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Waldron has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 8.9 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Cambridge City Lincoln struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8.1. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Waldron might still be hurting after the 15-0 loss they got from Cambridge City Lincoln when the teams last played back in April of 2021. Thankfully for Waldron, Bryce Pennington (who tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
