Golden Eagles @ Bombers July 20 1PM

Jack Wagoner (Sacred Heart) is the probably starter for this afternoon's contest at Epstein Field at Southern Vermont College in Bennington. Wagoner is 1-0 against the Bombers this season in one appearance, coming five days earlier on July 15. Jack tossed six innings of one-run ball, scattering seven hits while striking out six and walking only one.

Curt Courtwright (Missouri State) is batting .400 against Bennington in four starts. The Golden Eagles are 5-1 against the Bombers on the season, and 6-1 all-time in the state of Vermont against Bennington. Todd Brazeal (South Florida) is the only position player to start all six games against the Bombers. Brazeal has a double and two runs batted in for the season series. Kody Johnson (Pima CC) has driven in a team-high four runs against the Bombers.

Despite owning a 5-1 season series advantage, the Bombers are out-hitting the Golden Eagles .244 to .235. The answer to that statistical anomaly, as it has been all season, is pitching. Glens Falls pitchers own a 2.25 earned run average against their neighbors from the East.
