Eads is 2-8 against Holly since April of 2017 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Friday. Eads will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against Holly at 4:00 p.m. Holly took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Eads, who comes in off a win.
Eads is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Manzanola. Eads' pitchers stepped up to hand Manzanola an 18-0 shutout on Tuesday. The Eagles haven't had any issues with the Bobcats recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive win against them.
Case Nelson and Adyn Hough were a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Nelson struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Hough tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, Nelson gave up only zero walks, the fewest he's had since back in April of 2024. At the plate, Nelson scored a run while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances, while Hough scored three runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-4. That's the most runs Hough has posted since back in April of 2024.
