Bedford extended their losing streak to three on Friday, dropping them down to 6-14. They came up short against the Central Dragons, falling 8-0. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Dragons this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 11-1 last Tuesday.
Bedford saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Zach Eichelberger, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base.
As for Central, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-9 record this season. The result was nothing new for Central, who have now won nine contests by eight runs or more so far this season.
On Central's side, they gave Brody Mellott the start and clearly made the right call: he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Mellott is becoming a predictor of the Dragons' success: when he allows at most two hits the team is undefeated (and 8-9 when he doesn't).
At the plate, Wyatt Dilling was incredible, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Central is undefeated when Dilling posts two or more runs, but 6-9 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Troy McNichol, who went 2-for-5 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI.
As of now, neither Bedford nor Central have any future games scheduled.
