Gavin McCoy was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 11 over seven innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Prout is 3-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 3-7 otherwise. McCoy was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, one run, and one RBI. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high.
McCoy wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Andrew Nowell, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run. Joe Hennings also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Prout's victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 6-8. As for Johnston, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-10.
Coming up, Prout will take on St. Raphael Academy at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The last five games the Saints have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. As for Johnston, they didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, a 7-5 win against Rogers on the 8th.
