Horizon is 2-1 when Brennan posts two or more runs, but 0-6 otherwise. Maxton Sosa was another key player, scoring a run while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Skyline). Everything went their way against Montbello on Saturday as they made off with a 15-3 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Falcons.
Like Horizon, Skyline also got a great game from a two-way player: JD Wright. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Those seven strikeouts gave Wright a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run.
In other batting news, Matt Lanier was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and two doubles. Those four hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Brody Hufford, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
Skyline kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive contests.
Horizon's win bumped their record up to 2-7. As for Skyline, their victory bumped their record up to 5-7.
