Marion extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 14 on Tuesday, dropping their season record down to 0-12 in the process. They lost 9-3 to the Anderson Indians. If the Giants were looking for revenge after losing 9-8 to the Indians when the teams met back in May of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Caleb Richardson put in work while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up four earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. Richardson was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two RBI.
Richardson wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Taeshawn Inman, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one run. Trey Attaway also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
As for Anderson, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a massive bump to their 7-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games.
On Anderson's side, the team relied heavily on Isaac McKenzie, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of KeAvon Burt, who went 2-for-4 with four RBI, one run, and one double.
While Marion had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
