Forest had lost four straight on the road, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 3-8 to make it five. They fell 6-1 to the Trenton Tigers. The Wildcats were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Tigers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2025.
As for Trenton, the win keeps them at an undefeated 11-0. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.1 runs on average this season.
For Trenton's part, Brant Bivens made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run over 4.1 innings pitched. Bivens has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up a single earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with one stolen base and two RBI.
Bivens wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Mason VunCannon, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and one double. Another was Brayden Cobb, who got on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Forest will venture away from home to square off against Bishop Moore at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Hornets' pitching crew has only allowed three runs per game this season, so the Wildcats' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Trenton, they will head out on the road to face off against Lafayette at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Tigers 1.1, the Hornets 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
