Parkway is 1-9 against Minster since April of 2015 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Thursday. The Panthers are taking a road trip to face off against the Wildcats at 5:00 p.m. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Parkway and South Adams meet (three straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Wednesday. The Panthers were the clear victors by a 12-1 margin over the Starfires.
Brayden Bruns made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and only one walk). Bruns was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and three runs.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jacoby Triplett, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That triple marked the first that he has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Isaac Beveridge, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
Parkway always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .583. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as South Adams only posted an OBP of .261.
Meanwhile, Minster posted their closest win since April 10th on Tuesday. They never let Fort Recovery get on the board and left with a 1-0 victory. Those one runs were actually the fewest the Wildcats have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.
The win made it two in a row for Minster and bumps their season record up to 9-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 0 runs in those games. As for Parkway, their record is now 5-6.
Parkway suffered a grim 6-0 defeat to Minster in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can the Panthers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
