WestSide had lost three straight on the road, but on Tuesday they dropped their record down to 9-18 to make it four. They came up short against the James Monroe Mavericks, falling 11-0. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Mavericks this season, with their most recent loss being a 6-5 defeat back in April.
As for James Monroe, the victory was the fourth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 19-12. The team dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 11.8 runs.
For James Monroe's part, Kadyn Hines was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 14 over five innings pitched. Hines has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in 14 consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Peyton Gardinier, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of James Monroe's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 10-12 when he doesn't). Baylee Ridgeway was another key player, going 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
As of now, neither WestSide nor James Monroe have any future games scheduled.
