On the mound, Eschberger struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off only two hits. Meanwhile, Jimenez pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Eschberger has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances. At bat, Eschberger went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double, while Jimenez went 2-for-4 with two runs and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Brenson Beran, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Will Cloud, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one RBI.
Thorndale kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive contests.
Thorndale pushed their record up to 19-3 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 19.0 runs over those games.
