If Delta was riding high off their 15-4 takedown of Pope John Paul II last Thursday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Delta Eagles' tough 10-2 loss to the Yorktown Tigers on Saturday might stick with them for a while. Delta was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Yorktown apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2023.
Delta got a good showing from Sebastian Gillum, who didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched.
At the plate, Zane Cline was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-3 with a home run.
On Yorktown's side, Landen Eppard spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up seven Ks.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Sean Gibson, who went 2-for-4 with four RBI, a run, and a double. The team also got some help courtesy of Cole Perdue, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.
Having lost for the first time this season, Delta fell to 2-1.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: they beat Yorktown by a score of 11-1 later that day.
