The Tuscola Warriors are taking a road trip to take on the Clinton Maroons at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Tuscola's pitching crew heads into the matchup hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Tuesday. They were the clear victors by a 7-0 margin over Heritage. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Warriors.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Clinton). They blew past Meridian 12-2 on Monday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Maroons considering their one-run performance the game before.
Jaeden Bell and Cole Fentress were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Bell tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. Meanwhile, Fentress didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over four innings pitched. Those six strikeouts gave him a new career-high. At the plate, Bell went 1-for-5 with two RBI, one run, and one double, while Fentress got on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base.
In other batting news, Colton Walker and Ryan Pine did most of the damage at the plate: Walker went a perfect 4-for-4 with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI, while Pine went 2-for-4 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one double. Walker is becoming a predictor of Clinton's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-10 when he doesn't). Jaxon Reynolds also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Clinton was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .394. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Tuscola's record is now 8-15. As for Clinton, their record now sits at 9-10.
