Iroquois West is 0-4 against Manteno since April of 2015 but things could change on Thursday. The Raiders will look to defend their home field against the Panthers at 4:30 p.m. Iroquois West is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8 runs per game this season.
The home team had won the previous three meetings between Iroquois West and Gardner-South Wilmington, and Gardner-South Wilmington kept the tradition alive. The Raiders took an 8-5 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Panthers on Wednesday.
Iroquois West saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Mario Andrade, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Manteno). They put the hurt on Clifton Central with a sharp 18-3 victory on Wednesday. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Manteno got a massive performance out of Tyler Buehler, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 4-for-4. What's more, Buehler posted three RBI, the most he's had over his last 11 contests. The team also got some help courtesy of Moises Garcia, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with five RBI and one run.

The win made it two in a row for Manteno and bumps their season record up to 10-4. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.5 runs over those games. As for Iroquois West, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-6.
Iroquois West might still be hurting after the 11-1 loss they got from Manteno in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Will the Raiders have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
