The Southern Lee Cavaliers will square off against the Southwestern Randolph Cougars at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Southern Lee is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.7 runs per game this season.
Southern Lee was handed a eight-run loss in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Tuesday. They had just enough and edged out Wheatmore 4-3.
Bryan McCollum spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in 12 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, BJ Blanks was excellent, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Ben Harrington, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one RBI.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Southwestern Randolph). Everything went their way against Wheatmore last Tuesday as they made off with a 12-2 win. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Cougars as it put an end to their four-game losing streak.
Southern Lee has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.8 runs over those games. As for Southwestern Randolph, their victory bumped their record up to 6-10.
