Tom McDevitt was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 14 over six innings pitched. Those 14 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base and one double. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played.
McDevitt wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Jacoby Tait, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one run and one double.
The win (which was Cashmere's third in a row) raised their record to 12-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.7 runs over those games. As for Connell, with the loss, they broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 11-4.
Cashmere will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Eagles: the pair will be back at it again later today.
