Appalachian got themselves on the board against Horseshoe Bend on Wednesday, but Horseshoe Bend never followed suit. They put the hurt on the Generals with a sharp 10-0 win. Considering the Eagles have won 11 games by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Logan Harvey was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one hit in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, one triple, and one run.
In other batting news, JT Hyde and Levi Parrish did most of the damage at the plate: Hyde scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3, while Parrish scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances. Those two stolen bases gave Parrish a new career-high. Reid Murphree was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances.
Appalachian has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.5 runs over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Horseshoe Bend and nudges their season record down to 6-9.
Appalachian will have a chance to go back-to-back against Horseshoe Bend: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
