Jordan is 8-2 against Northern Durham since February of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Falcons are taking a road trip to face off against the Knights at 6:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Jordan has three straight victories, Northern Durham has three straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Jordan proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by seven) and on Wednesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Riverside-Durham 3-2.
Philip Daly looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Jordan saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Harris Mangum, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI Mangum has posted since back in April of 2024.
Meanwhile, Northern Durham came up short against Jordan, falling 8-1.
Jordan pushed their record up to 12-7 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. As for Northern Durham, they now have a losing record of 8-9.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Jordan has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.2 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Northern Durham struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Jordan's way against Northern Durham in their previous meeting on Tuesday, as Jordan made off with an 8-1 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
