Merrill and Coleman are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2015, but likely not for long. The Vandals will take on the Comets at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Merrill's pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so Coleman's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
On Saturday, Merrill came up short against Holton and fell 9-4.
Meanwhile, Coleman had to endure a five-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They blew past St. Charles 8-2 on Monday. The Comets not only won on Monday, but they posted their biggest win since April 14th (when they won 18-1).
Travis Murray made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three stolen bases and two runs. Those three hits gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kyler Young, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. Joaquin Campbell also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Merrill's loss dropped their record down to 7-6. As for Coleman, their record is now 3-10.
Merrill was able to grind out a solid win over Coleman in their previous meeting back in May of 2024, winning 7-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Vandals since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
