Patriot dropped their record down to 6-2 on Tuesday, which also ended the team's six-game streak of wins. They lost 10-2 to the Highland Hawks. Having soared to a lofty 26 runs in the game before, the Pioneers couldn't push the score so high this time.
As for Highland, they are on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games.
For Highland's part, Ethan Hudson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and not a single walk). Hudson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Joey Rogers was incredible, going 2-for-5 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in May of 2024. Brooks Graham also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
Looking ahead, Patriot is taking a road trip to square off against Gainesville at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Cardinals' pitching crew has only allowed 1.8 runs per game this season, so the Pioneers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Highland, they will challenge Virginia Episcopal School at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
