While Greencastle didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Owen Valley a 2-0 shutout on Thursday. The two-run effort marked the Tiger Cubs' lowest-scoring contest of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
The result came thanks to Ali Hassler's shutout, as she gave up just two hits and racked up 13 Ks.
Northview's record is now 8-3. As for Greencastle, their record now sits at 11-0.
Monday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Northview hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .318. However, it's not like Greencastle struggles in that department as they've averaged .418. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Northview came out on top in a nail-biter against Greencastle when the teams last played back in April of 2025, sneaking past 7-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Knights since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
