Frankton has gone a perfect 6-0 against Eastern Hancock recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Eagles will take on the Royals at 5:30 p.m. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Frankton's win against Cowan wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Eagles had just enough and edged out the Blackhawks 7-6.
Frankton let Oliver Baker and Kendall Harvey run wild. Baker went a perfect 4-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run, while Harvey got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI Harvey has posted since back in March. Mason Jones was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one run and one RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Frankton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
While Eastern Hancock didn't have the best season last year (they finished 9-15-1), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Tri a 14-0 shutout on Friday. Considering the Royals have won seven contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Hayden Rouse made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with three stolen bases, one run, and one double.
In other batting news, Gavin Jenkins was incredible, firing off two home runs, six RBI, and two stolen bases while going 2-for-2. He also scored three runs, which is notable because Eastern Hancock is 8-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 1-2 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Brennan Noah, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Eastern Hancock, bringing their record up to 9-3. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.0 runs over those games. As for Frankton, their record now sits at 4-7.
Everything went Frankton's way against Eastern Hancock when the teams last played back in May of 2025, as Frankton made off with a 10-4 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
