The Decatur Red Raiders will venture away from home to challenge the Hatton Hornets at 11:00 a.m. on Monday.
Things were looking good for Decatur after they put the first points on the board on Friday, but unfortunately for them things went downhill from there. They came up short against Lawrence County, falling 9-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Red Raiders have suffered against the Red Devils since March 8, 2021.
Meanwhile, Hatton took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Thursday. They blew past East Lawrence 18-3. The Hornets haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive win against them.
Carter Crumpton looked comfortable as he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single earned run, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in March of 2024.
On the hitting side, Bryson Jeffreys was a standout: he scored four runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-3. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in February of 2024. Another player making a difference was Owen Brackin, who went a perfect3-for-3 with five RBI, three runs, and one double.
