Eupora had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Philadelphia on Tuesday. The Eagles' pitcher stepped up to hand the Tornadoes a 15-0 shutout. Considering the Eagles have won 14 games by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Eupora got a massive performance out of Brooks Powell, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most runs Powell has posted since back in February. Duke Gary also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen bases of the season.

Eupora has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 16-10 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Philadelphia, they are on a 12-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-9.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Eupora will take on South Pontotoc at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Philadelphia, they will challenge Kemper County at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
