Hudsonville barely beat Caledonia the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Eagles were the clear victors by a 7-1 margin over the Fighting Scots on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 17 contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Dax Rossin looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Caeden Kennedy and Parker Groenink did most of the damage at the plate: Kennedy got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one triple and one RBI, while Groenink went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and one RBI. That triple marked the first that Kennedy has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Harrison Phillips, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and one run.

Hudsonville has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 29-7-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. As for Caledonia, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-17-4 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Hudsonville will welcome Zeeland East at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. As for Caledonia, they will square off against East Kentwood at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.
