Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bowie). They blew past the Bladensburg Mustangs 26-4 on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won 13 matchups by eight runs or more so far this season.
Jack Young 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. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.
In other batting news, Jayden Ryland was a standout: he got on base in four of his five plate appearances with four stolen bases, five runs, and three RBI. Those four stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Brandon Epps was another key player, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI.
Bowie always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .800. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Bowie pushed their record up to 15-1 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.1 runs over those games. As for Bladensburg, they are on a 36-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-11.
Looking ahead, Bowie will welcome DuVal at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Bulldogs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Tigers have averaged an impressive 8.5 runs per game this season. Bladensburg does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
