Marion extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 15 on Wednesday, dropping their season record down to 0-13 in the process. They lost 11-1 to the Anderson Indians. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Indians this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 9-3 on Tuesday.
Marion saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Trey Attaway, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one RBI. That RBI was Attaway's first of the season.
As for Anderson, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-5 record this season.

On Anderson's side, Branson Hemme was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched. Hemme has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base.
