We've got a battle between Eagles coming up. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, Gabrielino and Marshall will really light up the scoreboard on Friday.
On Wednesday, neither Gabrielino nor Arroyo could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 10-10 draw.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Marshall). They never let Mountain View get on the board and left with a 10-0 win on Wednesday. The Eagles not only won on Wednesday, but they posted their biggest win since April 23, 2024.
Michael Gerst looked comfortable as he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out nine over four innings pitched. He also allowed no hits, which is notable because Marshall is 5-0-1 when he allows at most two hits, but 1-2 otherwise.
At the plate, Marshall let Nate Callaway and Caleb Thatcher run wild. Callaway went 2-for-3 with two triples, two runs, and one RBI, while Thatcher went 2-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. Those two triples gave Callaway a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Trevor Lain, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3.
Marshall was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .423. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Marshall is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. Gabrielino's draw makes their record 2-2-1 this season.
Gabrielino couldn't quite get it done against Marshall when the teams last played back in April of 2024 as they fell 7-2. Can Gabrielino avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
