Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Heritage). They were the clear victors by a 19-9 margin over the South Gwinnett Comets on Friday. The Patriots haven't had any issues with the Comets recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
Heritage let Charles Walker and Adam Bolton run wild. Walker scored three runs and stole four bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances, while Bolton scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Walker is becoming a predictor of Heritage's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-5 when he doesn't). Cal Lumpkin also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
