Brackenridge hasn't had much luck against Southwest recently, but that could start to change on Wednesday. The Eagles will be playing in front of their home fans against the Dragons at 7:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Brackenridge 3.7, Southwest 2.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Brackenridge lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Burbank, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Friday's matchup. The Eagles' pitcher stepped up to hand the Bulldogs a 7-0 shutout on Friday. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by six runs or more this season.
Ethan Polendo was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
