Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hersey). They were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Maine West Warriors on Thursday. The win was nothing new for the Huskies as they're now sitting on seven straight.
Keegan Luxem tossed a big game, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and only one walk). Those nine strikeouts gave him a new career-high.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Marcus Krecu, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Charlie Arvanitis, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3.
Hersey kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive games.
Hersey pushed their record up to 8-0-1 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.9 runs over those games. As for Maine West, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-7.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Hersey will host Niles West at 4:45 p.m. on Friday. As for Maine West, they will look to defend their home field on Saturday against Warren Township at 10:30 a.m. The Blue Devils' pitching crew has only allowed 3.3 runs per game this season, so the Warriors' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
