Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Nelsonville-York). They put the hurt on the Federal Hocking Lancers with a sharp 19-6 win on Wednesday. With that victory, the Buckeyes brought their scoring average up to 6.2 runs per game.
Zach Richardson was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up three earned (and three unearned) runs off nine hits (and only one walk). Those six strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was even better at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. He is becoming a predictor of Nelsonville-York's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 2-1 (and 2-8 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Dallas Snider was incredible, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, five RBI, and three doubles. Those three doubles gave him a new career-high. Caleb Rexford also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
