Baseball Recap: Friday's Win Is Wylie's 12th in Last 13 Outings

There's no place like home for Wylie, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Legacy Leopards with a sharp 13-3 win on Friday. Considering the Bulldogs have won eight games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Colby Garrett made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Those zero hits allowed gave him a new career-low. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with one stolen base and two RBI.

In other batting news, Dylan Regala and Ty Briscoe did most of the damage at the plate: Regala went 3-for-5 with three runs, one triple, and one RBI, while Briscoe scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Those three runs gave Regala a new career-high. Jace Tomlin was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.

Wylie always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .513. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Legacy only posted an OBP of .367.

Wylie has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 13 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-4-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. Legacy's defeat was their seventh straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 4-11.

Wylie will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Abilene at 6:30 p.m. on April 1. As for Legacy, they will host Duncan at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. Duncan's pitching crew has only allowed 2.4 runs per game this season, so Legacy's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
