Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Douglas). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Amphitheater Panthers a 24-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Bulldogs have won seven matches by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Isidro Hoyos was a major factor no matter where he played. He pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Douglas is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 7-8-1 otherwise. Hoyos was also big at the plate, going 3-for-5 with four RBI and one run. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Jose Ivan Higuera was a standout: he went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. That triple marked the first that he hit this season. Christopher Escarcega was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.
Douglas always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .689. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Douglas, bringing their record up to 12-8-1. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of seven runs across that stretch. As for Amphitheater, they dropped their record down to 0-11 with the defeat, which was their 14th straight at home dating back to last season.
Douglas will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Panthers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
