Bath County had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Augusta on Tuesday. The Wildcats blew past the Panthers 13-2. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by six runs or more this season.
Parker Cox was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with five stolen bases, three runs, and one double. Those five stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Bath County let Gage Thompson and Cooper Cox run wild. Thompson went 1-for-4 with one home run and three runs, while Cox got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. Thompson is becoming a predictor of Bath County's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 7-2 (and 6-8 when he doesn't). Zeke Brock also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Bath County is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 13-10 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.8 runs over those games. As for Augusta, their defeat was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-13.
Looking ahead, Bath County will face off against Raceland at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Wildcats' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Rams have averaged an impressive 7.8 runs per game this season. As for Augusta, they will take on Bracken County at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
