The Bunker Hill Bears will face off against the Eastern Alamance Eagles at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Bunker Hill had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt St. Stephens on Friday. Bunker Hill blew past St. Stephens 10-3. The Bears have beaten the Indians the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Indians has come to flipping the script.
Serena Thurman made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over six innings while giving up three earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). Thurman was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Alexis Stuebe, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Eastern Alamance took care of business in their home opener (barely) on Thursday. They had just enough and edged out Roxboro Community 5-3.
Delani Straughan spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits and racked up six Ks.
On the hitting side, Olivia Foster was excellent, going 1-for-2 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. Another player making a difference was Brylea Warren, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base and two RBI.
