Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Harvest Christian Academy). They were the clear victors by a 19-1 margin over the Alden-Hebron Green Giants on Thursday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Lions needed considering they were shut out in their previous match.
Marcus Booras was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). Booras was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two RBI and one run. Those two RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Ben Mitchell was a standout: he got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Harvest Christian Academy's success: when he posts at least one home run the team is undefeated (and 6-7 when he doesn't). Eddy Figueroa, Jr also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
Harvest Christian Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .525. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Alden-Hebron only posted an OBP of .364.
