Rossville barely beat Eastern the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Hornets blew past the Comets 9-2 on Wednesday. The Hornets might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight games by seven runs or more this season.
Eli Barnes spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits and racked up six Ks. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Rossville got a big performance out of Evan Mcdonald, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double. That double marked the first that Mcdonald has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Zac Wainscott, who went 2-for-4 with three runs and one double.
Rossville always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .513. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Eastern only posted an OBP of .276.
Rossville is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.4 runs over those games. As for Eastern, their defeat ended a six-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 12-4.
Looking ahead, Rossville will host Delphi Community at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Oracles will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something the Hornets surely won't give up without a fight. As for Eastern, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Manchester at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Comets' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Squires have averaged an impressive 8.2 runs per game this season.
