The Mayflower Eagles will head out to challenge the Glen Rose Beavers at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Mayflower knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten runs or more in their past three games -- so hopefully Glen Rose likes a good challenge.
Last Tuesday, Mayflower was able to grind out a solid victory over Atkins, taking the game 11-7. The win continues a trend for the Eagles in their matchups with the Red Devils: they've now won five in a row.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Glen Rose). They were the clear victors by a 21-4 margin over Jessieville on Wednesday. Considering the Beavers have won six contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
P. Long was a standout: he went 2-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. B Burget was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with five RBI and two doubles.
Glen Rose always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .568. The last time their OBP was this high was back in March.
Mayflower's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 3-12. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Glen Rose, their victory ended a six-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 7-6.
Mayflower skirted past Glen Rose 4-3 in their previous meeting back in April of 2019. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
