Shafter won the last time they faced Kennedy and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Generals blew past the Thunderbirds 16-4. The result was nothing new for the Generals, who have now won seven games by nine runs or more so far this season.
Noah Bill was a standout: he scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in February. Christopher Espinoza also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
Shafter always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .571. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
The victory made it two in a row for Shafter and bumps their season record up to 9-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 5 runs in those games. As for Kennedy, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-10 record this season.
Shafter will have a chance to go back-to-back against Kennedy: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
