Sweetwater entered their tilt with Merkel on Tuesday with four consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with five. They came out on top against the Badgers by a score of 9-5. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 17-5 last Thursday.
Cash Barnes was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Sweetwater is 4-2 when he allows at most two walks, but 8-10 otherwise. Barnes was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs.
Barnes wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Blayne Bohall, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. Those three RBI gave Bohall a new career-high. Kyler Holsey also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Sweetwater's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-12. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.3 runs over those games. As for Merkel, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last ten matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-11-1 record this season.
Sweetwater will face off against Jim Ned at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Merkel does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
