He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over four innings while giving up three earned (and four unearned) runs off three hits. Weedon was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-2. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Aaron Williams, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now stolen at least one in the last four games he's played.
Bell's loss dropped their record down to 0-3. As for Eastern, they now have a winning record of 5-4-1.
Bell was able to grind out a solid win over Eastern when the teams last played back in April of 2023, winning 7-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bell since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
