Windthorst has gone a perfect 10-0 against Olney recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Trojans will take on the Cubs at 5:00 p.m. Windthorst is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.7 runs per game this season.
Windthorst will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any runs on Thursday, then bounced right back against Electra on Tuesday. The Trojans put the hurt on the Tigers with a sharp 15-0 victory. Considering the Trojans have won eight contests by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Everything went Windthorst's way against Olney in their previous meeting back in March, as Windthorst made off with an 11-1 win.
