Briggs barely beat Walnut Ridge the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Bruins put the hurt on the Scots with a sharp 8-1 victory on Monday. The Bruins might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 contests by seven runs or more this season.
Wyatt Martin was a major factor no matter where he played. He struck out nine batters over 3.2 innings while giving up just one earned run but no hits (and only one walk). Those nine strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Cameron Griffith, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one double. That triple was his first of the season.
The win was the tenth in a row for Briggs, bringing their record up to 12-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Walnut Ridge, they are on an 11-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Briggs will square off against Foxfire at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Walnut Ridge, they will take on Marion-Franklin at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Red Devils have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.9 runs per game on average), something the Scots will no doubt try to take advantage of.
