Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Aquilla). Everything went their way against Gholson on Friday as Aquilla made off with a 15-5 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Brodey Woodward made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over two innings 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, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. Aquilla is undefeated when Woodward posts two or more runs, but 4-6 otherwise.
In other batting news, Andrew Snipes and Zane Booth did most of the damage at the plate: Snipes scored three runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-4, while Booth scored two runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4. Snipes is becoming a predictor of Aquilla's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 4-2 (and 3-4 when he doesn't). Mason Cockrell was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.
