Tuscarora barely beat Heritage the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Huskies blew past the Pride 10-3 on Tuesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Huskies considering their two-run performance the match before.
Ethan Johnson looked comfortable as he pitched 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Tuscarora got a massive performance out of Chas Battaglia, who went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases and three runs. That's the most runs Battaglia has posted since back in May of 2024. Ashton Peshke was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three RBI, one run, and one double.
Tuscarora kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 10.6.
