In other pitching news, Luke Warriner looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Plainfield is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 9-11 otherwise.
Back at the plate, Ty White was incredible, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in April.
Avon's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 19-11. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Plainfield, their win bumped their record up to 15-11.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Saturday as neither team is afraid to steal. Avon has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Plainfield struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Avon's way against Plainfield when the teams last played back in April, as Avon made off with a 14-1 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Orioles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
