Bradyn Potter was incredible, going 3-for-5 with one home run, six RBI, and one double. Those six RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Christian MacGillivray, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
NSU University always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .595. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Gulliver Prep only posted an OBP of .393.
Meanwhile, Saint Andrew's hadn't done well against Benjamin recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Scots blew past the Buccaneers 11-1. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Scots.
Emery Coleman tossed a big game, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Luccas Mendez, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2. Another player making a difference was Connor Berman, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
NSU University pushed their record up to 19-2 with the victory, which was their ninth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Saint Andrew's, their victory bumped their record up to 14-4.
Friday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. NSU University hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .360. However, it's not like Saint Andrew's struggles in that department as they've averaged .338. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
NSU University took their win against Saint Andrew's in their previous matchup back in February by a conclusive 15-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Sharks since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
