Baseball Preview: Senn Bulldogs vs. Jones Eagles

Suggested Video

The Senn Bulldogs will venture away from home to challenge the Jones Eagles at 4:45 p.m. on Monday. Senn knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten runs or more in their past five games -- so hopefully Jones likes a good challenge.

Senn gave up the first runs on Thursday, but they didn't let that get them down. They were the clear victors by a 12-3 margin over Prosser. The win continues a trend for the Bulldogs in their matchups with the Falcons: they've now won three in a row.

Jones Sweetman made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 5.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off two hits. Sweetman was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with two RBI and one run.

Meanwhile, it may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Jones ultimately got the result they hoped for on Saturday. They skirted past Chicago University 6-5. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Eagles have posted since April 4th.

Like Senn, Jones also got a great game from a two-way player: Renzo Sansonetti. On the mound, Sansonetti tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Jack Hiltz tossed 2.2 innings while giving up just one earned run but no hits. Jones is undefeated when Sansonetti allows one or fewer hits, but 10-15 otherwise. At the plate, Sansonetti got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one double, while Hiltz went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on John Clifford, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. Christophe DeWijkerslooth was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Jones has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 13-15 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for Senn, their record now sits at 9-3.

Monday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Senn has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .485. However, it's not like Jones struggles in that department as they've averaged .434. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
