Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Flomaton). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Murphy Panthers an 18-0 shutout on Tuesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Hurricanes considering their one-run performance the contest before.
Flomaton let Cody Grimes and Braxton Jernigan run wild. Grimes scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2, while Jernigan scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in both of his plate appearances. Those three runs gave Jernigan a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Bryer Chavers, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Flomaton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .719. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Flomaton has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a massive bump to their 13-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.4 runs over those games. As for Murphy, their loss was their 21st straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-31.
Looking ahead, Flomaton will face off against McKenzie at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for Murphy, they will welcome Vigor at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
