The Celina Bobcats will challenge the Sanger Indians at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
The home team had won the previous four meetings between Celina and Bonham, and Celina kept the tradition alive. The Bobcats skirted past the Warriors 3-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Bobcats have posted since April 13, 2024.
Meanwhile, Sanger entered their tilt with Bonham on Monday with seven consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with eight. They were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over the Warriors. The result was nothing new for the Indians, who have now won eight matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Leala Kloewer spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on seven hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 12 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Vivy Lynch, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Dalilah Millan, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4.
Sanger was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .448. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bonham only posted a batting average of .259.
Sanger pushed their record up to 14-5-3 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Celina, their win bumped their record up to 5-16.
Celina couldn't quite finish off Sanger when the teams last played two weeks ago and fell 3-1. Will the Bobcats have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
