Fillmore proved they can win big two weeks ago (they won by six) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 7-6 victory over the Cuba-Rushford Rebels. Seven seems to be a good number for the Eagles as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Jared Boon and Damon Potter made a big impact no matter where they played. On the mound, Boon didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over 4.2 innings pitched. Meanwhile, Potter pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. At the plate, Boon went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double, while Potter went 1-for-4 with one home run. That home run marked the first that Potter has launched this season.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact as seven players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Kalan Beardsley, who went 3-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024.
Fillmore kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
