The Ashley Ridge Swamp Foxes will head out to challenge the Legion Collegiate Academy Lancers at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Ashley Ridge is headed into Saturday's matchup looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their fourth straight game dating back to last season on Friday. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 4-3 heartbreaker at the hands of Chapman.
Noah Seguer was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off one hit (and not a single walk).
At the plate, Ashley Ridge saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jack Healing, who scored a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Legion Collegiate Academy came up short against St. James on Friday and fell 6-3.
Legion Collegiate Academy also got a good showing from Ryan Brakstad, who tossed 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.
On the hitting side, Collin Tuttle was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one triple and one run. Another player making a difference was Griffin McKain, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases.
Even though they lost, Legion Collegiate Academy kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as St. James only managed five hits.
