The Avon Orioles will venture away from home to take on the Zionsville Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Avon's pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so Zionsville's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Avon is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They put the hurt on McCutcheon with a sharp 15-8 victory on Monday. That's two games straight that the Orioles have won by exactly seven runs.
Isaac Kramer looked comfortable as he tossed four innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off two hits.

Those two stolen bases gave Pennington a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Jack Bland, who went 3-for-5 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Zionsville, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Saturday. They skirted past University 5-4. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Eagles have posted since April 28th.
Jack Virkus looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Liam Salapka, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Sam Haak also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Zionsville is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 15 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Avon, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 16-7.
