Brady Neff and Sam Addington made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Neff struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits. Meanwhile, Addington tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. That's the most strikeouts Neff has posted since back in March. At bat, Neff went 2-for-3 with two RBI, while Addington got on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs. Addington has become a key player for Holy Cross: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 7-16 otherwise.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Ethan Neal, who went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. He is becoming a predictor of Holy Cross' success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 4-2 (and 6-14 when he doesn't).
Meanwhile, Campbell County had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Wednesday. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 2-1 W against the Eagles.
Campbell County's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 19-9-1. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. As for Holy Cross, their record now sits at 10-16.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Holy Cross has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Campbell County struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Holy Cross skirted past Campbell County 2-1 in their previous matchup back in May of 2023. Do the Indians have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Camels turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
