Meanwhile, La Porte had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5 runs) and they went ahead and made it seven on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 6-4 win over the Eagles.
La Porte pushed their record up to 19-10 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Sterling, they now have a losing record of 13-14.
