Brody Mahan made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over 5.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in May of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played.
Mahan wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Jarrmez Daniels, who scored two runs while going 1-for-2. Honey Grove is undefeated when Daniels posts two or more runs, but 3-6 otherwise.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ector). They were the clear victor by a 22-12 margin over Savoy on Tuesday. Considering the Eagles have won four matches by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Honey Grove's win was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-6. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for Ector, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-3 record this season.
Honey Grove beat Ector 5-2 in their previous meeting back in February of 2024. Will Honey Grove repeat their success, or does Ector have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
