The Midway Raiders will head out to challenge the Gray's Creek Bears at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Midway's pitching crew has only allowed 2.1 runs per game this season, so Gray's Creek's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Things were looking good for Midway after they put the first run on the board on Friday, but unfortunately for them things went downhill from there. They fell just short of Rosewood by a score of 3-2. The loss was the Raiders' first of the season.
Meanwhile, Gray's Creek made easy work of Terry Sanford on Friday and carried off a 21-1 victory. The Bears might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Elizabeth Johnson spent all three innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on zero hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on August Kebort, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, eight RBI, and two runs. Those eight RBI gave her a new career-high. Kayleigh Brown was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Gray's Creek kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in 15 consecutive contests.
Gray's Creek is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.7 runs over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Midway fell to 17-1.
