After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Hartsville, Cheraw was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-2 win over the Wilson Tigers. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Braves also won the last time the pair played back in March of 2023.
Crawford Poole made a splash no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. Poole was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, one run, and one double. Those two stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
In other pitching news, Austin Adams looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits.
Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Anthony Strong, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. Nick Gordon was another key player, going 1-for-4 with one home run.
