Poquoson has gone 8-2 against Lafayette recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. After both having extra time off, the two teams will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 4:30 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Poquoson has seven straight wins, Lafayette has 28 straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
While Poquoson's victory against Warhill wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Islanders won by a run and slipped past the Lions 10-9. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Islanders have posted against the Lions since April 13, 2022.
Alyssa Laney was a standout: she scored a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Tinley Goodson, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two runs.
Meanwhile, Lafayette fell victim to York and their airtight pitching crew last Wednesday. They came up short against the Falcons, falling 19-0.
Lafayette saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Makayla Brooks, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base.
Poquoson pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.8 runs over those games. As for Lafayette, their loss dropped their record down to 0-7.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Poquoson has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Lafayette struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Poquoson's way against Lafayette when the teams last played back in May of 2024, as Poquoson made off with a 23-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Islanders since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
