Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only McEachern walked away with it. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Newton Rams a 7-0 shutout on Wednesday. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 matchups by six runs or more this season.
McEachern got a great performance from JC Crenshaw as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over 5.1 innings pitched. Crenshaw has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Malachi Butler, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with three stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 1 stolen bases per game. Another player making a difference was Alex Wilbanks, who got on base in both of his plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base.
McEachern's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 24-6. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for Newton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 19-13.
As of now, neither McEachern nor the Rams have any future games scheduled.
