The Coleman Comets will head out to take on the Byron Eagles at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Coleman will be looking to extend their current three-game winning streak.
Coleman came out on top against St. Charles on Monday thanks in part to the team's impressive five-run sixth inning. The Comets sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 victory over the Bulldogs.
Brennan Glazier spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up six Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Coleman saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brayden Schrank, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. Asher Hess also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Byron). Everything went their way against Mt. Morris on Monday as they made off with a 15-8 win. The high-scoring effort was just what the Eagles needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.
Byron got a massive performance out of Braylen Fish, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. Those two RBI gave Fish a new career-high. Liam McKay was another key player, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
Byron always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .643. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Byron's victory was their first in the league, bumping their league record up to 1-5 and their overall record up to 4-9. As for Coleman, their record now sits at 8-10.
