With a playoff win on the line, Ballston Spa rose to the challenge on Monday. They were the clear victors by an 11-5 margin over the Columbia Blue Devils. Considering the Scotties have won seven matchups by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Thomas Driver looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, David Wallace Jr. was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Dylan Lofink also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
Ballston Spa always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .515. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Columbia only posted an OBP of .368.
