Eaton has enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will take on the Sterling Tigers at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. One thing working in Eaton's favor is that they have posted big run totals in their last five contests.
In what's become a running theme this season, Eaton gave their fans yet another huge victory on Wednesday. They beat Highland by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 10-0.
Eaton got a great performance from Gunnar Garrison as he didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out nine over 4.2 innings pitched.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Gunnar Duncan, who scored a run while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Joey Blaskowski, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 13 runs the game before, Sterling was a bit more limited in their game on Wednesday. They fell victim to a tough 10-0 loss at the hands of University. The matchup marked that first time this year in which Sterling was not able to get on the board.
Eaton's win was their 18th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 11-0. They've been dominating during the matches in that stretch too, as they've won by an average of 12.1 runs. As for Sterling, their defeat ended a nine-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 8-2.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Eaton has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Sterling struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.7. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Eaton took their victory against Sterling when the teams last played back in April of 2023 by a conclusive 15-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Eaton since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
