The Krum Bobcats will take on the Sanger Indians at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Krum is looking to tack on another W to their 11-game streak on the road dating back to last season.
Krum heads in on the heels of a playoff game on Wednesday. They fell just short of Sanger by a score of 2-1. Krum was red-hot at the plate headed into the match (they scored no less than ten runs in the three contests prior) but Sanger's pitcher proved too tough.
For Sanger's part, Leala Kloewer spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered one run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up 15 Ks. Kloewer has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 26 consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Kyley Cochran, who scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-4.
Krum's loss ended an eight-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 32-3-1. As for Sanger, the victory (which was their 12th in a row) raised their record to 33-5.
Thursday's matchup will be a test for both team's pitchers. Krum hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .401. However, it's not like Sanger struggles in that department as they've averaged .414. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
