They lost 22-1 to the Tallulah Falls Indians. If the Eagles were looking for revenge after losing 12-4 to the Indians when the teams met back in March of 2021, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Tallulah Falls, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 15-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games.
For Tallulah Falls' part, Robert Grant was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Grant has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with one run and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ashton Roache, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. He is also on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games he's played. Another player making a difference was Justin Smith, who went 1-for-3 with four runs and one stolen base.
The teams didn't have to wait long for another result: Tallulah Falls was given a victory via forfeit against Riverside Military Academy later that day.
