The Hornbeck Hornets are taking a road trip to take on the Ebarb Rebels at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.
Having struggled with 13 losses in a row dating back to last season, Hornbeck turned things around against Simpson on Tuesday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Broncos 10-8.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Ebarb and Negreet meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. Ebarb blew past Negreet 21-2. Considering the Rebels have won seven games by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Ebarb's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-3. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Hornbeck, their victory (their first of the season) made their record 1-5.
Hornbeck couldn't quite finish off Ebarb in their previous meeting back in March of 2024 and fell 17-15. Can Hornbeck avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
