North Bullitt will head out to take on Eastern at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. North Bullitt is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.4 runs per game this season.
North Bullitt managed to slip by North Oldham the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Eagles lost 11-2 to the Mustangs on Wednesday. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for the Eagles, who until this matchup were averaging 3.67 runs allowed.
North Bullitt got a good showing from Ian Gunning, who tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Gunning has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Dylan Hornback was cooking despite his team's loss, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and one run. Rowen Burton was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases.
Meanwhile, Eastern came tearing into Tuesday's contest with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Bruins, sneaking past 6-4. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Eagles have posted since April 21st.
Hunter Hvidhyld looked comfortable as he tossed 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. What's more, he posted four strikeouts, the most he's had since back in March.
On the hitting side, Donovan Webber and DaShawn Tharpe did most of the damage at the plate: Webber went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one run, and one RBI, while Tharpe went 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double. Those two doubles gave Webber a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Matt Collier, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.
Eastern kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 9.6.
North Bullitt's defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 27-9. As for Eastern, their record is now 14-18.
North Bullitt got the 'W' when the teams last played back in April of 2025 against Eastern by a conclusive 13-5 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for North Bullitt since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
