Sherwood came tearing into Friday's match with eight straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over the Glencoe Crimson Tide. The result was nothing new for the Bowmen, who have now won eight contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
Connor Parry was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 14 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Alex Lopez, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Sam Hunt, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Sherwood was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .433. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Glencoe only posted a batting average of .160.
Sherwood's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 18-3. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for Glencoe, they are on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-13.
