Heritage was not able to break out of their rough patch on Wednesday as the team picked up their eighth straight loss. They came up short against the Cocoa Beach Minutemen, falling 14-3. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Minutemen this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 15-11 back in February.

Heritage's defeat dropped their record down to 2-11. As for Cocoa Beach, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 8-7.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Heritage will challenge Space Coast at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Vipers' pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Panthers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Cocoa Beach, they will welcome Merritt Island Christian at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday. The Cougars have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.8 runs per game on average), something the Minutemen will no doubt try to take advantage of.
