Ignacio is on a five-game streak of home wins, while Cedaredge is on an eight-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Bobcats will welcome the Bruins at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday. Ignacio is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 11.6 runs per game this season.
Ignacio is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Bayfield just ended the team's eight-game winning streak on Tuesday. They fell 6-2 to the Wolverines. The Bobcats were red-hot at the plate heading into the matchup (they scored no less than ten runs in the three games prior), but the Wolverines' pitchers proved too tough.
Ignacio saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was William M, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run. M has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played.
Meanwhile, Cedaredge made easy work of Center on Wednesday and carried off a 15-8 win. The result was nothing new for the Bruins, who have now won 11 contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Zach Mannon looked comfortable as he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.
On the hitting side, Rylan Brooks was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases and three runs. Another player making a difference was Trenton Ryan, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
Cedaredge's victory bumped their record up to 15-2. As for Ignacio, their loss dropped their record down to 12-4.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Thursday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Ignacio has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.6 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Cedaredge struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8.8 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Ignacio came up short against Cedaredge in their previous meeting back in May of 2021, falling 11-8. Can the Bobcats avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
