The home team had won the previous six meetings between South Aiken and Barnwell, and South Aiken kept the tradition alive. The Thoroughbreds skirted past the Warhorses 6-5. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Thoroughbreds have posted since March 8th.

Addison Miller spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned runs on ten hits.

At the plate, Alexis Meyer was excellent, going 1-for-2 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season. Kam Staley was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one home run.

South Aiken is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-20 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Barnwell, they moved to 18-4 with that loss, which also ended their 13-game winning streak.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. South Aiken will welcome Fox Creek at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Predators' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Thoroughbreds' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Barnwell, they will host Saluda at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Warhorses 2.5, the Tigers 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
