Churchill had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.7 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Thursday. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 4-3 W against the Sheldon Irish. That's more bragging rights for the Lancers, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Churchill got a great performance from Donovan Jackson as he pitched six innings while giving up three earned runs off six hits. Jackson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Brady Bousquet, who went 1-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Churchill's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 10-12 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Chase Hartley, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run and one double.
Churchill's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-12. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Sheldon, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-12-1.
As of now, neither Churchill nor the Irish have any future games scheduled.
