The Susquenita Blackhawks will venture away from home to face off against the Greenwood Wildcats at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Susquenita is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8 runs per game this season.
Susquenita is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Halifax just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Monday. They fell just short of the Wildcats by a score of 1-0. The matchup marked the first time this year in which the Blackhawks were not able to get on the board.
Meanwhile, Greenwood fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Saint Joseph's Catholic Academy on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the WolfPack by a score of 7-6.
A.J. Adlon was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 14 batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off two hits. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in April of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. That triple marked the first that he hit this season.
In other batting news, Gavin Oburn made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one home run, four RBI, and one double. That home run was his first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Owen Losch, who scored two runs and stole three bases while getting on base in three of his six plate appearances.
Greenwood's loss dropped their record down to 2-6. As for Susquenita, their defeat was their first in the conference, dropping their conference record down to 4-1 and their overall record down to 5-2.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Susquenita has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 12.1 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Greenwood struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.4 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Susquenita came out on top in a nail-biter against Greenwood in their previous matchup back in March, sneaking past 6-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blackhawks since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
