The South River Seahawks are taking a road trip to take on the Bowie Bulldogs at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Last Thursday, South River came up short against Broadneck and fell 8-3.
South River saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Nolan Hooker, who scored two runs while going 1-for-2. Deshawn Branch also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Meanwhile, Bowie put another one in the bag on Monday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Laurel a 5-0 shutout.
The result came thanks to Brandon Epps's shutout, as he gave up just two hits and racked up 15 Ks. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
Bowie's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-0. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.6 runs over those games. As for South River, their loss dropped their record down to 7-4.
Wednesday's match might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. South River has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .455. However, it's not like Bowie struggles in that department as they've averaged .558. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
South River took their win against Bowie in their previous matchup back in March of 2024 by a conclusive 10-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Seahawks since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
