Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Burlington). They blew past the Holyoke Dragons 14-0 on Saturday. With that victory, the Cougars brought their scoring average up to 6.2 runs per game.
Zack Foose made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out ten over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run.
In other batting news, Scout Humrich was a standout: he got on base in all five of his plate appearances with three stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. He has become a key player for Burlington: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two stolen bases, but 4-8 otherwise. Rowdy Humrich also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Burlington was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .417. They are 4-2 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.
Burlington has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Holyoke, they are on a 21-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-20.
Burlington will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Dragons: the pair will be back at it again later today.
