Southeast extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 22 on Friday, dropping their season record down to 0-15 in the process. They came up short against the Center Yellowjackets, falling 16-0. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Yellowjackets this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 20-3 back in March.
As for Center, they have been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games.
For Center's part, Luke Leslie was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Leslie has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two triples, three runs, and one stolen base. He is becoming a predictor of Center's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 1-10 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lucas Westring, who went 2-for-3 with four stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. He has become a key player for Center: the team is undefeated when he posts at least three RBI, but 6-10 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Brennan Eubanks, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and two runs.
As of now, neither Southeast nor Center have any future games scheduled.
