Eaton has been away from home for two games now, but on Thursday they'll finally make their return. They will host the Brush Beetdiggers at 4:00 p.m. Eaton knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten run or more in their past four games -- so hopefully Brush likes a good challenge.
Eaton's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Tuesday. They were the clear victor by a 17-0 margin over Valley. Considering the Reds have won 13 matches by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Johanna Galvan was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive pitching appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, and a double.
In other batting news, Emma Anderson was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 1-for-2. She is also on a roll when it comes to RBI, as she's now brought in three or more in the last four games she's played dating back to last season. Sophie Morgan was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two runs, a triple, and an RBI.
