The Arapaho Indians will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Wister Wildcats on Thursday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Arapaho had to kick off their season on the road back in March, but they showed no ill effects. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Caddo 2-1.
Meanwhile, Wister came tearing into Monday's match with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They never let the Miners get on the board and left with an 8-0 victory. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 17 games by six runs or more this season.
Joel Meeh looked comfortable as he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Preston Perez, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double. Those two hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Dartyn Meeks, who went 1-for-2 with one run and one RBI.
Wister always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .536. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hartshorne only posted an OBP of .263.
