Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pitman). Everything went their way against the Modesto Panthers on Wednesday as they made off with a 17-2 victory. Winning may never get old, but the Pride sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.
Ben Vilhauer made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs. He is becoming a predictor of Pitman's success: when he posts at least one home run the team is undefeated (and 7-15 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Pitman got a massive performance out of Nolan Walker, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Walker has become a key player for the Pride: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 5-15 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Cole Kelley, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
