Fairhope and Spanish Fort are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2016, but likely not for long. Fairhope will welcome Spanish Fort at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
Fairhope fell victim to Enterprise and their airtight pitching crew on Saturday. They fell just short of the Wildcats by a score of 2-0. The Pirates' defeat signaled the end of their four-game winning streak.
Jerry McDowell spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on five hits and racked up nine Ks. Those nine strikeouts gave him a new career-high.
On the hitting side, Alex Herington made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored a run while going 3-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Darren Leggett, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
Meanwhile, Spanish Fort made easy work of Greenbrier on Wednesday and carried off an 11-1 victory. That's two games straight that the Toros have won by exactly ten runs.
Spanish Fort has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-9 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. Fairhope's loss dropped their record down to 12-5.
Fairhope suffered a grim 8-0 defeat to Spanish Fort in their previous meeting back in February of 2024. Can Fairhope avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
