On Thursday, the Meek Tigers came up short against the Curry Yellowjackets and fell 18-15.
Evan McCay was huge no matter where he played even without the win. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring three runs while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Meek will take on Belgreen at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Meek has given up an average of 9.7 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week. Curry will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Hamilton at 4:30 p.m. on April 1st.
