Priory and Harker are an even 3-3 against one another since May of 2021, but likely not for long. Priory will venture away from home to challenge Harker at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Priory is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.2 runs per game this season.
On Tuesday, Priory came up short against South San Francisco and fell 7-3. The Panthers have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Priory saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Matthew Sun, who scored a run while going 1-for-3. Another was Kai Aalfs, who scored a run and stole a base.
Meanwhile, Harker waltzed into their game on Tuesday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They put the hurt on the Rams with a sharp 17-0 victory. That looming 17-0 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Eagles yet this season.
Shaurya Jain and Mason Brooks made a splash no matter where they played. On the mound, Jain struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Brooks tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Jain also tossed no walks, which is notable because Harker is 2-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 1-2 otherwise. At bat, Jain went 3-for-4 with five RBI, three runs, and two doubles, while Brooks went 3-for-5 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. That's the most doubles Jain has posted since back in March of 2024.
In other batting news, Matt Macmillan was excellent, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (three). Pedro Castro also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Harker always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .556. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Westmoor only posted an OBP of .227.
Priory's loss dropped their record down to 3-3. As for Harker, the win also got them back to even at 3-3.
Priory's speedy runners might be the difference in Thursday's match. Priory has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.2 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Harker, though, as they've been averaging only 1.2 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Priory continue to outrun the ball?
Priory took their victory against Harker when the teams last played back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 8-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Priory since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
