Margaretta extended their losing streak to three on Wednesday, dropping their season record down to 3-9 in the process. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 3-2 heartbreaker at the hands of the Woodrow Wilson Flying Eagles. If the Polar Bears were looking for revenge after losing 5-4 to the Flying Eagles when the teams met back in March of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Woodrow Wilson, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games.
For Woodrow Wilson's part, Tyler Wilhite was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). Those 12 strikeouts gave Wilhite a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Wilhite wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Drew Gallaher, who went 2-for-4 with one RBI. Another was Maddex Sims, who earned two runs and one stolen base.
Woodrow Wilson wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next contest, an 8-3 defeat against Nicholas County on the 17th. Hopefully Margaretta paid attention to the Flying Eagles' game: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Flying Eagles at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
