Augusta E has gone 8-2 against Coastal HomeSchool recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Eagles will host the Hurricanes at 7:00 p.m. One thing working in Augusta E's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last five matchups.
If Augusta E beats Coastal HomeSchool with 13 runs on Friday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two games with that exact score. The Eagles came out on top against Providence Athletic Club by a score of 13-10 on Monday. The Eagles haven't had any issues with the Panthers recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive win against them.
Jaiden Jacobsen was incredible, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and one double. Another player making a difference was Nathanael Reese, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Coastal HomeSchool, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Thursday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-2 victory over Bridges Prep on Wednesday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Hurricanes have posted since April 5th.
Jace Poppell was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three RBI. He has become a key player for Coastal HomeSchool: the team is undefeated when he posts at least three RBI, but 7-15 otherwise.
Poppell wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Troy DeVoe, who went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs. That's the most hits DeVoe has posted since back in March. J.W. Castongia was another, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one run.
Coastal HomeSchool was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .391. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.
Coastal HomeSchool has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 16-15 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.6 runs over those games. As for Augusta E, their win bumped their record up to 13-6.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Augusta E has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Coastal HomeSchool struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.5 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Augusta E might still be hurting after the 14-4 defeat they got from Coastal HomeSchool in their previous matchup back in March. Can the Eagles avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
