Carson Lietz made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 12 over six innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts he has posted over his last five matchups. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one double.
In other batting news, Brock Lustic was excellent, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Chase McBrearty, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, Satellite had just enough and edged out Baker County 6-5 on Tuesday. That's two games straight that the Scorpions have won by just one run.
Satellite's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Brady Roberts, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-4. Jaidan Batts was another, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
Satellite is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.1 runs over those games. Eau Gallie's win bumped their record up to 11-5.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Eau Gallie has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 8.2 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Satellite struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.3 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Eau Gallie couldn't quite finish off Satellite when the teams last played back in March of 2024 and fell 2-0. Will Eau Gallie have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
