Fox had lost three straight on the road, but on Friday they dropped down to 6-8 to make it four. They lost 7-0 to the Festus Tigers. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last six times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
As for Festus, the victory was the eighth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 12-2. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games.
For Festus' part, Nate Womack tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits over five innings pitched. Womack has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Festus got a big performance out of Jackson Smith, who went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases and one run. Those three stolen bases gave Smith a new career-high. Jude Blattner also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Coincidentally, Fox and Festus will both be playing Hazelwood West the next time they take the field. The Tigers will head out to face the Wildcats at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, while the Warriors will play them later in the day, at 12:00 p.m.
