Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Chewelah). They were the clear victors by a 30-4 margin over the Davenport Gorillas on Friday. The Cougars haven't had any issues with the Gorillas recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive victory against them.

Patrick McGuire made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. McGuire was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ryen McMillan, who went 5-for-6 with five RBI, three runs, and one double. Miles Krausz also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

Chewelah always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .698. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in three consecutive matchups.

Chewelah pushed their record up to 5-0 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games.
