Lick-Wilmerding had lost three straight on the road, but on Friday they dropped their record down to 8-12 to make it four. They came up short against the San Domenico Panthers, falling 10-0. Considering the last time the Tigers couldn't score was back in March, the team can't take the result too hard.
As for San Domenico, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-11 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games.
For San Domenico's part, Oliver Swain made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out ten over six innings pitched. Swain is becoming a predictor of San Domenico's success: when he posts at least eight strikeouts the team is undefeated (and 4-11 when he doesn't). Swain was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March.
Swain wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Alex Brook, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. Brook has become a key player for San Domenico: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 6-10 otherwise. Colin Falconer also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
