The Brown Bears will head out to take on the Fairdale Bulldogs at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Brown knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past five games -- so hopefully Fairdale likes a good challenge.
Last Wednesday, Brown made easy work of Western and carried off a 10-4 win. Considering the Bears have won ten contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Quinn Gallagher made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. Those 12 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played.
