After having lost a blowout in their previous game against D.H. Conley, West Carteret was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. They walked away with a 6-2 win over the Croatan Cougars. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 10-6 back in March.
Landon Quillen spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on three hits and racked up ten Ks. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Riley Jones and Josh Johnson did most of the damage at the plate: Jones went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs, while Johnson got on base in two of his three plate appearances with three stolen bases and one run. That's the most stolen bases Jones has posted since back in February. Austin Robinson Jr was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base and one RBI.
