Model is on a nine-game streak of home wins, while Pepperell is on a five-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. Model will welcome Pepperell at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Model 2.6, Pepperell 4) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Model's usually-dominant pitching crew will be looking to make up for Wednesday's struggle, when Calhoun hitters got past them. Model lost 10-1 to Calhoun on Wednesday. The game marked the Blue Devils' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
Meanwhile, Pepperell gave up the first runs on Friday, but they didn't let that get them down. Everything went their way against Heard County as Pepperell made off with a 13-1 victory. Considering the Dragons have won 12 matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
JP Kilgo was a standout: he scored four runs while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Hunter Godfrey, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI.
Kilgo wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Pepperell kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive contests.
Pepperell is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 13 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Model fell to 20-1.
Model couldn't quite get it done against Pepperell in their previous meeting back in February of 2024 as they fell 6-2. Will Model have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
