The Broughton Capitals will take on the Garner Trojans at 3:30 p.m. on Monday.
Saturday just wasn't the day for Broughton's offense. They lost 10-0 to J.H. Rose on Saturday. Having soared to a lofty ten runs in the game before, the Capitals' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
Meanwhile, Garner had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. Everything went their way against Rolesville on Wednesday as they made off with a 15-2 victory. The win was nothing new for the Trojans as they're now sitting on four straight dating back to last season.
Garner gave Storm Eubanks the start and clearly made the right call: he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits.
At the plate, Jacori Covington was a standout: he went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. The team also got some help courtesy of Camden Walton, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with five runs and one RBI.
Garner always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .568. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Rolesville only posted an OBP of .280.
Broughton skirted past Garner 7-5 in their previous matchup back in March of 2025. Do the Capitals have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Trojans turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
