Borden and Scottsburg are an even 3-3 against one another since May of 2018, but likely not for long. The Braves will face off against the Warriors at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Borden had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Henryville on Thursday. The Braves' pitchers stepped up to hand the Hornets a 12-0 shutout. The Braves might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by ten runs or more this season.
Meanwhile, Scottsburg got the win against Eastern on Thursday by a conclusive 13-5. The Warriors haven't had any issues with the Musketeers recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
Garrett McClellan was a major factor no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Brandt Kendall, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in May of 2024. Another player making a difference was Paxton Copple, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.
Borden is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Scottsburg, their record now sits at 9-2.
Borden suffered a grim 13-3 defeat to Scottsburg when the teams last played back in April of 2023. Can the Braves avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
