Avella extended their losing streak to four on Monday, dropping their season record down to 10-5 in the process. They lost 11-3 to the Carmichaels Mighty Mikes. The Eagles were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Mighty Mikes apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
As for Carmichaels, the win was the third in a row for them, bringing their record up to 9-4-1. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games.
For Carmichaels' part, Colin Andrews and Robbie Wilson-Jones were major factors while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Andrews pitched five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off eight hits. Meanwhile, Wilson-Jones tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. At the plate, Andrews went 1-for-4 with two runs and two RBI, while Wilson-Jones went 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. Those three RBI gave Wilson-Jones a new career-high.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Dayton Reynolds, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March. Brody Pratt also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
While Avella had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
