Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Poplarville). They put the hurt on the Bay Tigers with a sharp 17-1 victory on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Braxton Sones looked comfortable as he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.
At the plate, Jeremiah Moss and Brock Sheppard did most of the damage at the plate: Moss scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2, while Sheppard scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. Those three runs gave Moss a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Trac Smith, who scored two runs while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Poplarville always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .710. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Poplarville is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. Bay is on a 23-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-21.
Poplarville will have a chance to go back-to-back against Bay: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
