Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lake Region). They put the hurt on the Poland Knights with a sharp 19-6 win on Monday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Titus Benton and Brayden Wilson made a splash while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Benton pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Wilson struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up three earned (and three unearned) runs off three hits. The dominant performance also gave Benton a new career-high in strikeouts (five). At bat, Benton went a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one double, while Wilson got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one double.
