The Delta Charter Dragons will head out on the road to take on the Turlock Christian Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Delta Charter couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They wound up on the wrong side of a tough 11-3 walloping at the hands of Amador two weeks ago. The defeat means Delta Charter is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.
Turlock Christian was handed a 11-point loss in their previous outing, but they didn't let that bad energy affect their game against Orestimba on Monday. Turlock Christian had just enough and edged Orestimba out 4-2. The win was just what Turlock Christian needed coming off of a 15-4 defeat in their prior matchup.
Braden Small made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits (he also only allowed one walk). Small was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances.
In other batting news, Michael Miller was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with a triple, two RBI, and a run. Another player making a difference was Will Kelley, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3.
Delta Charter came up short against Turlock Christian in their previous meeting back in May of 2021, falling 5-0. Thankfully for Delta Charter, Myles Jenkins (who didn't allow a single earned run and only two hits while striking out seven over seven innings pitched) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
