Badger hasn't had much luck against Grand Valley recently, but that could start to change on Tuesday. The Braves will look to defend their home field against the Mustangs at 5:00 p.m. Badger is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.2 runs per game this season.
Things were looking good for Badger after they put the first run on the board on Monday, but unfortunately for them things went downhill from there. They fell just short of Bristol by a score of 6-5.
Ernie Cunningham was huge no matter where he played even without the win. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing five innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off five hits. That's the fewest earned runs he has allowed since back in May of 2025. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. That stolen base marked the first that he has snagged this season.
In other batting news, Lewis Flowers made the most of his time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 3-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Wyatt Webb, who got on base in two of his three plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Grand Valley). They never let Cardinal get on the board and left with a 20-0 win on Monday. Considering the Mustangs have won six contests by more than seven runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Badger's defeat dropped their record down to 8-4. As for Grand Valley, their victory bumped their record up to 11-3-1.
