McEachern came up short in Friday's first game despite Josiah Hatchett delivering his best game to date. Hatchett turned in nothing short of a gem: he didn't allow a single earned run and only two hits over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive pitching appearances.
Even though Hatchett couldn't lead McEachern over Marietta, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 8:00 p.m. in Friday's second game. McEachern will be headed into this one with a pretty big disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 144 places lower in Georgia), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Hatchett? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
