Baseball Preview: Berkshire Badgers vs. Cardinal Huskies

Berkshire and Cardinal are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2017, but likely not for long. The Berkshire Badgers will head out on the road to challenge the Cardinal Huskies at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Berkshire is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.3 runs per game this season.

Berkshire took a loss when they played away from home on Thursday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Monday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Cardinal and snuck past 4-3.

Ethan Martin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on five hits and racked up nine Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive pitching appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Patrick Brancel, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Lou Filby, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI.
