The North Delta Green Wave will take on the Tri-County Academy Rebels at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. North Delta is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.4 runs per game this season.
North Delta is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Thursday. They skirted past Marshall Academy 3-2. The game snapped a strange streak: the last three times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.
Alex Jackson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on eight hits.
At the plate, Owens Johnson was excellent, going 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Tri-County Academy, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Wednesday. They blew past Riverfield Academy 12-2 on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Rebels, who have now won 17 matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Crews Albritton was a major factor no matter where he played. He struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double. That double marked the first that he has hit this season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Hayden Smith, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two runs. Another player making a difference was Sawyer Pettit, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI.
Tri-County Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Riverfield Academy only posted an OBP of .320.
Tri-County Academy's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 26-5. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for North Delta, their record now sits at 25-11.
Wednesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. North Delta hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .338. However, it's not like Tri-County Academy struggles in that department as they've averaged .323. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
