Bralin Peters was huge no matter where he played even without the win. He struck out 11 batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Lincoln County is 6-2 when he allows at most one walk, but 9-10 otherwise. Peters was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one run.
Peters wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Garrett Adkins, who went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
As for Man, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-13 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games.
On Man's side, Grayson Sanders spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on six hits. Sanders has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.
Coming up, Lincoln County will welcome St. Albans at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Panthers will need to watch out since the Red Dragons have now posted at least ten runs in their last three matchups. As for Man, they will head out on the road to take on Belfry at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Hillbillies' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Pirates have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season.
