The Craigmont Chiefs will venture away from home to challenge the Fayette Ware Wildcats at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Craigmont can't be to happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Wednesday. They lost 17-0 to Millington Central. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it ten in a row.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Fayette Ware). Everything went their way against Kingsbury on Tuesday as Fayette Ware made off with a 19-3 win. With that victory, the Wildcats brought their scoring average up to 7 runs per game.
Katelynn Thompson made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up three earned runs but no hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. She also got a hit, marking her first of the season.
In other batting news, Mackenzie German was incredible, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one home run, five RBI, and three runs. That home run was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Rebekah Thompson, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Fayette Ware always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .923. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in three consecutive matches.
