The Hornets are two games behind in the wildcard race. All of Eureka is wondering if they have it in them to ramp it up to catch Boston by the close of the season.
Eureka's cause was recently hurt by the injury of Royce Butterfield. He strained his oblique, and is out for two weeks. He will return for a couple of starts at the end of the season. Eureka's pitching has been excellent, but the team has been in an overall funk all season long. Hopefully it is simply the result of youth, and many of the young players will be prepared to hit the ball with authority next season.
