Keene hasn't had much luck against Exeter recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The Blackbirds will host the Blue Hawks at 4:30 p.m. Keene is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.3 runs per game this season.
Keene fell victim to Pinkerton and their airtight pitching crew on Wednesday. They came up short against the Astros, falling 17-0. The loss was the Blackbirds' first of the season.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday Exeter's undefeated season almost came to an end. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 5-4 W against Salem. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Blue Hawks have posted against the Blue Devils since May 7, 2016.
Ethan Battles tossed a big game, tossing six innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits.
At the plate, Finn Adams was excellent, going 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI. Jack Dever was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI.
Exeter's victory was their 13th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-0.

As for Keene, their loss was their first of the season and makes their record 5-1.
Both Keene and Exeter just can't seem to miss. The Blackbirds have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 8.7 hits per game. However, it's not like Exeter struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 5.2 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Keene couldn't quite finish off Exeter in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 and fell 3-1. Will the Blackbirds have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
