After having lost a blowout in their previous game, Andrews was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Cherokee Braves 11-10. This was a revenge game for the Wildcats: when they faced off against the Braves last Tuesday, they had to take a 11-5 loss.

Andrews let Logan Shular and Drew Dartez run wild. Shular scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances, while Dartez scored a run and stole three bases while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. Those three stolen bases gave Dartez a new career-high. Braxton Rickett also deserves some recognition as he scored his first runs of the season.

Andrews always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .561. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Andrews' record now sits at 2-5. As for Cherokee, they dropped their record down to 2-4 with the defeat, which was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season.

Coming up, Andrews will square off against Swain County at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Andrews' pitchers better be ready for this one: Swain County has averaged an impressive 8.2 runs per game this season. As for Cherokee, they will take on Hiwassee Dam at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Hiwassee Dam has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.36 runs per game on average), something Cherokee will no doubt try to take advantage of.
