There's no place like home for Hardin, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Warren Warriors on Friday, sneaking past 5-4. This was a revenge game for the Hornets: when they faced off against the Warriors last Tuesday, they had to take a 6-3 loss.
Lleyton Berry spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on five hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Hardin's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Hunter Whitehead, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3. Parker Buffington also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Hardin has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Warren, they dropped their record down to 11-11 with the defeat, which was their third straight on the road.

The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Hornets 4, the Bobcats 2.7) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Warren will take on rival Kountze at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
