Bedford had lost five straight at home, but on Wednesday they dropped down to 11-7 to make it six. They fell just short of the Monroe Trojans by a score of 3-1. Surprisingly, this marked the fourth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor in this series.
Nick Coberley was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits.
As for Monroe, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-13 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games.
On Monroe's side, the team relied heavily on Carson Liedel, who went 1-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. Liedel is becoming a predictor of the Trojans' success: when he posts at least one home run the team is 6-2 (and 5-11 when he doesn't).
While Bedford had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
