There's no place like home for Evadale, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Monday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Spurger Pirates a 9-0 shutout on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Rebels, who have now won seven matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
Brett Buckner was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. He is becoming a predictor of Evadale's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is undefeated (and 5-10 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Cooper Palmer, who scored two runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
