Crestview had lost six games at home, but after bumping their record up to 5-10 on Tuesday that streak is in the rearview. They blew past the Mapleton Mounties 13-3. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Tyson Ringler was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out 11 batters over six innings while giving up three earned runs off six hits. Crestview is 3-1 when Ringler posts eight or more strikeouts, but 2-9 otherwise. Ringler was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
In other batting news, Brayden Parrigan and Gavin Barker did most of the damage at the plate: Parrigan went 3-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and one triple, while Barker went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Parrigan is becoming a predictor of Crestview's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 3-9 when he doesn't). Jeb Workman was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs and one stolen base.
