We've got a battle between Eagles coming up. Mildred's pitching crew has only allowed 2.9 runs per game this season, so Avalon's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Mildred's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Cayuga, sneaking past 2-0. The two-run effort marked the Eagles' lowest-scoring matchup of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Meanwhile, Avalon got the win against Non Varsity Opponent on Saturday by a conclusive 10-4. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by six runs or more this season.
Jackson Osbourn tossed a big game, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up a single walk any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Avalon got a massive performance out of Kade Johnson, who scored three runs and stole five bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Avalon is undefeated when Johnson posts two or more runs, but 1-4-1 otherwise. Shawn McEwen was another key player, scoring a run and stealing three bases while going 2-for-3.
Mildred is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.1 runs over those games. Avalon's victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 5-4-1.
