As for Hannibal, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 10-11. That's two games straight that they have won by just one run.
On Hannibal's side, Cooper Scott spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on nine hits. Scott also tossed no walks, which is notable because the Pirates are undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 7-11 otherwise.
