Eastern won the last time they faced DuPont Manual and things went their way on Wednesday too. The Eagles blew past the Crimsons 9-2. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 18 games by six runs or more this season.

Kelsey Davis was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. That's the most strikeouts she has posted over her last six matchups. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Alex Wagner, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April. Ryleigh Sweasy was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run and two runs.

Eastern's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 27-11. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for DuPont Manual, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 18-7-1.

Looking ahead, Eastern will face off against Bryan Station at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. DuPont Manual does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
