The High Point Central Bison will head out on the road to take on the Walkertown Wolfpack at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
High Point Central can't be too happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Wednesday. They came up short against Western Alamance, falling 15-0. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it eight in a row.
Meanwhile, Walkertown beat Atkins 10-6 on Friday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Wolfpack.
Caden Joyce made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just two earned (and four unearned) runs off nine hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2025. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.
In other batting news, Walkertown let Joey Russell and Dylan Miles run wild. Russell went 3-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double, while Miles went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs and one RBI. That's the most RBI Russell has posted since back in March of 2025. Another player making a difference was Westin Tompkins, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
High Point Central skirted past Walkertown 6-5 when the teams last played back in April of 2022. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bison since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
