Perry is on a five-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while O'Connor is on a five-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Pumas will host the Eagles at 3:45 p.m. on Thursday. Perry is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.3 runs per game this season.
Perry fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Hamilton on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Huskies by a score of 7-6. The Pumas' defeat signaled the end of their four-game winning streak.
Perry saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Clayton Brassfield, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Luke Calendo was another, scoring a run while going 3-for-5.
Meanwhile, O'Connor narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Basha 4-2. The Eagles haven't had any issues with the Bears recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.
O'Connor also got a great performance from Cody Stoller as he struck out 11 batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). Those 11 strikeouts gave Stoller a new career-high.
O'Connor's win bumped their record up to 12-5. As for Perry, their loss dropped their record down to 13-3.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Thursday. Perry hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.7 home runs per game. However, it's not like O'Connor struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.5 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Perry came out on top in a nail-biter against O'Connor in their previous meeting back in February of 2024, sneaking past 5-4. Do the Pumas have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Eagles turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
