Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hannibal). They came out on top against the Clark County Indians by a score of 15-11 on Tuesday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Pirates also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.
The team relied heavily on Cooper Scott, who got on base in five of his six plate appearances with one home run, five runs, and two stolen bases. He is becoming a predictor of Hannibal's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 6-3 (and 7-11 when he doesn't). Reid Holliday was another key player, getting on base in four of his six plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI.
The win made it two in a row for Hannibal and bumps their season record up to 13-14. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. As for Clark County, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-11.
