Dawson Mitchem made the most of his time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. That double marked the first that he has hit this season.
Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Choctawhatchee's offense. They took a 5-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Holmes County on Friday. The Indians haven't had much luck with the Blue Devils recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Monday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Baker has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.7 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Choctawhatchee struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 8.4 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Baker might still be hurting after the 12-5 defeat they got from Choctawhatchee in their previous meeting back in March of 2021. Can the Gators avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
