Lowellville owes their pitching crew a big pat on the back after their performance on Thursday. Everything went their way against East as they made off with a 7-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Rockets, who have now won six matches by seven runs or more so far this season.
Not much got past Liam Bartlett, who gave up just a hit and racked up 16 Ks to keep East off the board. Bartlett is becoming a predictor of Lowellville's success: when he posts at least ten strikeouts the team is undefeated (and 7-8 when he doesn't).
At the plate, Kasen Smith and Cody Nolfi did most of the damage at the plate: Smith went 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI, while Nolfi went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. Nolfi has become a key player for Lowellville: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 5-8 otherwise. John Allaby also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
