Baseball Recap: Wylie Sets Scoring Season-High Against Abilene

Wylie lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Abilene, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Thursday's contest. The Wylie Bulldogs blew past the Abilene Eagles 15-8 on Thursday. The Bulldogs' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.

Wylie got a big performance out of Ty Briscoe, who scored two runs while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Briscoe is becoming a predictor of Wylie's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-3-1 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Landry Pate, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Wylie kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in four consecutive matchups.

Wylie has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. With the defeat, Abilene broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 8-4.

Coincidentally, Wylie and Abilene will both be playing Memorial the next time they take the field. Wylie will head out to face Memorial at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, while Abilene will host them at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
