The Blue Panthers will head out on the road to square off against the Marauders at 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Gananda Central will be looking to extend their current nine-game winning streak.
Gananda Central's hitters will try to repeat the strong performance they gave on Monday, when they got past Sodus' usually-dominant pitching crew. The Blue Panthers put the hurt on the Spartans with a sharp 10-2 victory. Considering the Blue Panthers have won eight games by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Gananda Central has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 10.8 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Williamson struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.9 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Everything went Gananda Central's way against Williamson in their previous meeting back in April, as Gananda Central made off with a 7-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blue Panthers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
