Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Clay walked away with it. They blew past the Riverside Generals 18-3 on Tuesday. The Blue Devils' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
LJ Martin was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That home run marked the first that he launched this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Easton McMahan, who went 1-for-2 with one home run and three RBI.
Martin wasn't the only one making solid contact: Clay kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That's a new trend for the Blue Devils: they were averaging 5.5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matchups they've averaged 10.6.
The win was the third in a row for Clay, bringing their record up to 17-9. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Riverside, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-18 record this season.
Clay will square off against Baker County at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Riverside does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
