Clayton Harris made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out eight over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one home run.
Harris wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Ashton Elam, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
Meanwhile, Anderson scored the most runs they've had this season on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough. They fell just short of Weed by a score of 4-3.
Nate Melton made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-1.
Etna pushed their record up to 6-3 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Anderson, their loss dropped their record down to 0-5.
Etna couldn't quite finish off Anderson in their previous meeting back in February of 2024 and fell 5-3. Can Etna avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
