The Palisades Dolphins will challenge the Bell Eagles at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Palisades 3.6, Bell 3) so any runs scored will be well earned.
The home team had come away the winner the last five times Palisades and Hamilton had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Dolphins were the clear victors by a 13-3 margin over the Yankees on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Dolphins, who have now won eight matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Palisades got a massive performance out of Logan Bailey, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, two stolen bases, and two runs. What's more, Bailey posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Caleb Gitlin, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Palisades lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
Bell let Roosevelt stack five runs on them in the seventh inning on Wednesday but luckily Bell prevailed anyway. The Eagles narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Rough Riders 7-6. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Eagles.
Palisades' win ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 13-9. As for Bell, their record now sits at 15-6.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Saturday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Palisades has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Bell struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Palisades might still be hurting after the 11-1 defeat they got from Bell in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can the Dolphins avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
