Rusk lost to Palestine back in April of 2024, but they didn't allow them the same satisfaction on Tuesday. Rusk sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 victory over Palestine. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Eagles have posted against the Wildcats since April 9, 2019.
Ross Davis spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned runs on ten hits and racked up seven Ks.
On the hitting side, Rusk saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Nash Acker, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and one double. Those two RBI gave Acker a new career-high. Carter Holland also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Rusk has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. Palestine's defeat dropped their record down to 13-5-1.
Rusk will have a chance to go back-to-back against Palestine: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
