Hudsonville came tearing into Friday's game with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They walked away with a 5-1 victory over the Hamilton Hawkeyes.
Hudsonville got a great performance from Carson Merritt as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over five innings pitched. Merritt has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Hudsonville let Xavier Sullivan and Kaden Howard run wild. Sullivan got on base in all three of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and one run, while Howard got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. Those three stolen bases gave Sullivan a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Braylon Miller, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases.
Hudsonville's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 26-7-1. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Hamilton, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 18-6 record this season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Hudsonville beat Hamilton by a score of 3-0 later that day.
