The home team had come away the winner the last four times Beech and Mount Juliet had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Buccaneers fell 6-3 to the Golden Bears on Thursday. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Golden Bears this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 8-3 back in March.
Brianna Buckley spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and five unearned) runs on ten hits.
On the hitting side, Madison Pinkleton was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two RBI, and one double.
Beech's loss dropped their record down to 6-10. As for Mount Juliet, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-9-1 record this season.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Beech will venture away from home to challenge Wilson Central at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. As for Mount Juliet, they will head out to square off against Dickson County at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Golden Bears 3.8, the Cougars 2.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
