Winfield — It will be a dazzling matchup tonight when No. 15 (1A) Winfield-Mount Union hosts Highland in the semifinal round of the Class 1A Regional Playoffs.
The Lady Wolves looked strong in their opener, pushing past New London 10-0.
Highland blanked Lone Tree 5-0.
This will be the third meeting between the two programs this season with each team grabbing a game.
Highland enters play tonight 21-6.
Grace Batcheller has been the Huskies’ workhorse, starting 17 games, striking out 101 over 105.2 innings.
She struck out six in the team’s win over Lone Tree.
Meanwhile, the list of superlatives to use to describe the performance of Maddie Anderson is dwindling.
The superstar ace of the Lady Wolves was incredible again on Wednesday and will need her ‘A’ stuff again tonight.
Anderson allowed just one hit and a walk while striking out 15 against New London.
She eclipsed the career 1,000 strikeout mark earlier this season.
Tonight’s game can be heard on FM 105.5 and kilj.com.
Weather permitting, first pitch is set for 5:00 p.m.
