Southwestern gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They walked away with a 7-4 win over the Harlan County Black Bears. For the Warriors, this counts as revenge for the 16-8 victory the Black Bears walked away with the last time they faced one another back in March of 2024.
Mick Miller made a splash no matter where he played. He tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, he gave up only zero earned runs, the fewest he's had since back in March of 2024. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Cliff Sawyers, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Jayce Gager, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two RBI.
Southwestern kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Harlan County only managed three hits.
