Morgantown is a perfect 5-0 against Preston since March of 2016 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Mohigans will host the Knights at 5:30 p.m. Morgantown is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.6 runs per game this season.
Morgantown is headed into the contest having just posted their closest win since April 7th on Thursday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over Upper St. Clair.
Grayson Campbell spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned runs on eight hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Morgantown let Koa Silvers and Mason Bowers run wild. Silvers went 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run, while Bowers got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run. That's the most stolen bases Bowers has posted over his last 11 games. The team also got some help courtesy of Kai Henkins, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
Meanwhile, Preston had to endure a five-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They never let Lincoln get on the board and left with a 4-0 win on Tuesday.
Not much got past Robbie Lowe, who gave up just four hits and racked up ten Ks to keep Lincoln off the board. Lowe also tossed a walk, which is notable because Preston is 3-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 5-13 otherwise.
At the plate, Preston's victory was truly a team effort as seven different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Cooper Thaler, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI.
Preston was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lincoln only posted a batting average of .120.
Preston's win bumped their record up to 8-14. As for Morgantown, their victory bumped their record up to 22-5.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Morgantown has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Preston struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.6 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Morgantown got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in May of 2019 against Preston by a conclusive 11-1 score. Do the Mohigans have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Knights turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
