The A.C. Flora Falcons will take on the Lancaster Bruins at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
A.C. Flora fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Blythewood on Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Bengals by a score of 8-7. The Falcons haven't had much luck with the Bengals recently, as the team has come up short the last six times they've met.
Meanwhile, Lancaster made easy work of Richland Northeast on Thursday and carried off a 15-5 victory. The Bruins might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by six runs or more this season.
Ethan Bufford was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing four innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off two hits. Bufford was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
In other batting news, Dayton Hollenbeck was a standout: he scored three runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-2. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Parker McGee, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 4-for-4.
Lancaster always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Lancaster has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.8 runs over those games. A.C. Flora's defeat dropped their record down to 5-4-1.
