The Eastwood Eagles will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge the Perkins Pirates at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
While Eastwood's victory against Clyde wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Eagles narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Fliers 4-2. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Eagles.
Kadyn Donnell spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up ten Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Cam Schumaker, who scored a run and stole three bases while going 2-for-2. Drew Luidhardt was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and two RBI.
Meanwhile, Perkins took care of business in their home opener (barely) on Tuesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Ross, sneaking past 4-2.
Perkins also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and he was also dialed-in: Braxden Martin gave up two runs (both of which were unearned) on five hits and racked up six Ks.
On the hitting side, Talon Walton was excellent, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one double, and one RBI.
Eastwood beat Perkins 5-2 when the teams last played back in May of 2024. Will the Eagles repeat their success, or do the Pirates have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
