Avoca Central dropped their record down to 6-4 on Thursday, which also ended the team's three-game streak of wins. They took a 5-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Naples Big Green Machines. The Tigers were red-hot at the plate heading into the contest (they scored no less than ten runs in the three matches prior), but the Big Green Machines' pitchers proved too tough.

For Naples' part, Hunter Jacoby spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on five hits. Jacoby also tossed a walk, which is notable because the Big Green Machines are 3-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 2-3 otherwise.
