Eastern Alamance had lost three straight at home, but on Tuesday they dropped their record down to 13-10 to make it four. They took a 12-9 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Orange Panthers. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Eagles of the 19-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2024.
Eastern Alamance got a massive performance out of Tyler Westbrooks, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That home run was Westbrooks' first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Jarrett Newell, who went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI.
As for Orange, they now have a winning record of 12-11. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
On Orange's side, they let Dominic O'Keefe and Kayden Bradsher run wild. O'Keefe went 2-for-4 with four RBI, two doubles, and one run, while Bradsher got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Bradsher is becoming a predictor of Orange's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 7-1 (and 5-10 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Mason Bullard, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run.
While Eastern Alamance had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
