Brookhaven hasn't had much luck against Loyd Star recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The Panthers will challenge the Hornets at 5:00 p.m.
Pearl hit Brookhaven with a seven-run first inning on Thursday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Panthers took a 10-6 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Pirates.
Jayonna Pendleton made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Mia Lee, who went 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Loyd Star took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Monday. They never let McComb get on the board and left with a 15-0 win.
Adi Holcomb was incredible, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April of 2025. Another player making a difference was Berkleigh Davis, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run.
Loyd Star always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .786. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as McComb only posted an OBP of .000.
Brookhaven might still be hurting after the 14-4 loss they got from Loyd Star in their previous matchup back in March of 2025. Can the Panthers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
