Upperman typically has all the answers at home, but on Thursday Watertown proved too difficult a challenge. They walked away with a 6-1 win over the Bees. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Purple Tigers also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.
Avery Davis spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Noah Murphy, who scored two runs while going 1-for-2. Another player making a difference was Aiden Dedman, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
