Decatur dropped their record down to 16-6 on Thursday, which also ended the team's four-game streak of wins at home. They fell just short of the Marcellus Wildcats by a score of 2-1. The Raiders were not able to make up for their loss to the Wildcats from their previous meeting back in May of 2024.
As for Marcellus, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games.
For Marcellus' part, Abram Coffey spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on four hits and racked up ten Ks. Coffey has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in ten consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Marcellus saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brock McWilliams, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one run and one double.
While Decatur had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
