The Pleasant Hill Billies will head out on the road to square off against the Molalla Indians at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
Last Wednesday, Pleasant Hill and Valley Catholic finished up on equal footing with a 0-0 tie.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Molalla). Everything went their way against Sweet Home on Thursday as they made off with a 15-5 win. The victory was familiar territory for the Indians, who have now won three contests in a row.
Mason Mead looked comfortable as he struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off two hits.
On the hitting side, Garrett Brusseau was a standout: he scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-5. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Douglas Wells also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
Molalla kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Sweet Home only managed four hits.
Molalla's record now sits at 5-2. Pleasant Hill's draw gives them a new season record of 5-2-1.
Pleasant Hill suffered a grim 8-0 defeat to Molalla in their previous meeting on Monday. Can the Billies avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
