The Bessemer Academy Rebels will head out on the road to face off against the Fort Dale Academy Eagles at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
Bessemer Academy is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They were the clear victor by a 17-2 margin over Heritage Christian Academy on March 1st. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Fort Dale Academy, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They won by a run and slipped past Edgewood Academy 10-9.
Bailey Lambert was excellent, scoring two runs while going 3-for-4. The team also got some help courtesy of Lela Mansmann, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one double and one RBI.
Lambert wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Fort Dale Academy kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. Fort Dale Academy is 3-1 when they post 11 or more hits.
Fort Dale Academy is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-8 record this season. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of one runs across that stretch. Bessemer Academy's victory was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-1.
Bessemer Academy might still be hurting after the 10-2 loss they got from Fort Dale Academy when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Can Bessemer Academy avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
