The Enumclaw Hornets are on the road again in Friday's first game to play the Foss Falcons at 3:30 p.m. Enumclaw is strutting in with some hitting muscle, as they've averaged 11.4 runs per game this season.
In what's become a running theme this season, Enumclaw gave their fans yet another huge victory on Thursday. They blew past White River 11-3.
Will Scharf and Cooper Markham were a major factor no matter where they played. Throwing, Scharf tossed an inning while giving up no earned runs or hits (he also didn't allow any walks). Meanwhile, Markham struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances. At the plate, Scharf scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2, while Markham scored a run while going 2-for-5.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Karson Holt, who scored three runs and stole four bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now stolen at least one in the last four games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Landon Wall, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with a stolen base, two RBI, and a double.
Meanwhile, Foss was not able to break out of their rough patch on Thursday as the team picked up their eighth straight loss. Their rough 25-2 defeat to Steilacoom might stick with them for a while.
