The Forest Wildcats will venture away from home to face off against the DeLand Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Forest is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.9 runs per game this season.
Forest gave up the first runs last Monday, but they didn't let that get them down. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 victory over The Villages Charter. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Wildcats.
Makenna Boyd spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on three hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Forest's win was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Olivia Lewis, who went 2-for-3 with one RBI.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 23 runs the game before, DeLand was a bit more limited in their contest on Tuesday. They came up short against Innovation, falling 10-1. The Bulldogs' defeat signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.
DeLand's loss dropped their record down to 7-7. As for Forest, they now have a winning record of 9-8.
Forest's speedy runners might be the difference in Wednesday's matchup. The Wildcats have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.4 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for DeLand, though, as they've been averaging only 0.9 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Forest continue to outrun the ball?
Forest took their victory against DeLand in their previous meeting back in March by a conclusive 16-5 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wildcats since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
