The Evangelical Christian Eagles will face off against the Covington Chargers at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Evangelical Christian is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.3 runs per game this season.

Evangelical Christian took a ten-run defeat the last time they faced off against Lausanne Collegiate, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Eagles came out on top in a nail-biter against the Lynx on Tuesday, sneaking past 6-4.

The team relied heavily on Banks Addison, who scored a run and stole two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Bradley Smith, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.

Meanwhile, while Covington put up plenty of runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Millington Central. The Chargers put the hurt on the Trojans with a sharp 13-0 victory. Considering the Chargers have won eight contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Evangelical Christian has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.6 runs over those games. As for Covington, their victory was their first in the district, bumping their district record up to 1-2 and their overall record up to 9-10.

Evangelical Christian was able to grind out a solid win over Covington when the teams last played back in March, winning 13-8. Do the Eagles have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Chargers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
