Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mountain View). They were the clear victors by a 15-1 margin over the Heritage Timberwolves on Tuesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Thunder with their most commanding win of the season.
Lucas Wolfley made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with one triple, two RBI, and one run. That triple was his first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Nick Wilcox, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 4-for-5. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in doubles (two). Jackson Taylor was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.
Mountain View always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The victory made it two in a row for Mountain View and bumps their season record up to 4-8. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 4 runs in those games. As for Heritage, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last nine matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-8 record this season.
Mountain View will have a chance to go back-to-back against Heritage: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
