Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Longmont). They were the clear victors by an 11-2 margin over the Widefield Gladiators on Friday. The victory was just business as usual for the Trojans, who after five games remain undefeated this season.

Bryce Smaic was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and only one walk). What's more, he gave up only one walk, the fewest he's had since back in April of 2024. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024.

Smaic wasn't the only one making solid contact as nine players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Collin Pool, who went 3-for-5 with three doubles, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most hits Pool has posted since back in April of 2024. Another was Logan Etcheverry, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2.

Longmont kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits every time they've taken the field this season.

Longmont pushed their record up to 5-0 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Widefield, their defeat ended a four-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 1-4.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Longmont will square off against Green Mountain at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
