Baseball Recap: Church Point Makes It Seven in a Row at Home

Church Point had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Tuesday. They were the clear victors by a 12-1 margin over the Northwest Raiders. That's two games straight that the Bears have won by exactly 11 runs.

Ethan Little was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and not a single walk). Furthermore, he didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2024. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 3-for-3. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played.

In other batting news, Jack Venable was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and one double. That home run marked the first that he launched this season.
