Howard County: May 23 Baseball Predictions
The final week of the high school baseball regular season is nearly complete, capping a busy stretch for local teams. Eastern and Taylor competed in their conference tournaments, while Kokomo is set to play four games in three days. With only a few games remaining, now is the perfect time to get out and support area athletes.
Let’s take a look at Friday night’s matchups and predict the winners.
Twin Lakes 16-8 vs Kokomo 13-9
Kokomo is wrapping up the regular season with a hectic schedule, playing four games in just three days. It’s a tough stretch right before sectionals, and it’ll give the Wildkats a chance to see how they stack up under pressure. One of their biggest tests comes when Twin Lakes visits Championship Park.
Twin Lakes has been rolling lately. Their trio of standout sophomores has been playing lights-out down the stretch, helping the team hit its stride at just the right time. Kokomo’s starting pitchers have been solid all year, but with so many games packed into a short span, pitching depth could become a concern.
Right now, Twin Lakes looks like the more complete team. They’ve been strong in all phases — hitting, pitching, and defense — and that all-around edge could make the difference Friday night as they look to grab a big road win at Championship Park.
Winner: Twin Lakes
