The home team had come away the winner the last five times Heritage Hills and Washington had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Patriots' pitcher stepped up to hand the Hatchets a 10-0 shutout on Wednesday. The Patriots might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matches by seven runs or more this season.
Andersen Smith was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over seven innings pitched. What's more, he posted five strikeouts, the most he's had since back in April. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-5 with one double and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Micah Toler, who went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Luke Krzykowski, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one double.
Heritage Hills always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Washington only posted an OBP of .222.
