The Central Eagles will head out to face off against the Anson Bearcats at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
Central fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Andrew Jackson on Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Volunteers by a score of 4-2. The Eagles have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Central saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Cody Branham, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one triple and one RBI. That triple was Branham's first of the season.

Central's defeat dropped their record down to 5-9. As for Anson, their victory was their first in the conference, bumping their conference record up to 1-6 and their overall record up to 4-13.
