The Gray Collegiate Academy War Eagles will head out to square off against the Aiken Fighting Green Hornets at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
Gray Collegiate Academy took a loss when they played away from home on Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Monday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against North Augusta, sneaking past 1-0.
The result came thanks to Riley Huggins's shutout, as he gave up just three hits and racked up nine Ks. What's more, he gave up only zero walks, the fewest he's had since back in March of 2024.
At the plate, Gray Collegiate Academy's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Cole Adams, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base. That's the most hits Adams has posted since back in April of 2024. Garrett Blankenship also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Meanwhile, Aiken was not able to break out of their rough patch on Monday as the team picked up their fifth straight defeat. They lost 12-1 to Gilbert.
Gray Collegiate Academy is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. Aiken's loss dropped their record down to 3-6.
