Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ferndale). They put the hurt on the Southfield Arts & Tech Warriors with a sharp 21-1 victory on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Mason Shaltis made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Ferndale is undefeated when Shaltis allows two or fewer hits, but 4-7 otherwise. Shaltis was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs and one double. That's the most runs he has posted over his last 11 contests.
In other batting news, Ferndale got a massive performance out of Jaylin Dennard, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and three RBI. Dennard has become a key player for the Eagles: the team is 4-2 when he posts at least two runs, but 3-5 otherwise. Isiah Harris was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI.
Ferndale always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .714. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Ferndale's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-7. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Southfield Arts & Tech, they are on a 14-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-12.
