It was a Battle of the Birds when Wayne Christian duked it out with Epiphany on Tuesday. The Eagles blew past the Falcons 11-1. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by seven runs or more this season.
Brandon Benkovics made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 1-for-1 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. Wayne Christian is undefeated when Benkovics posts three or more RBI, but 6-7 otherwise.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Grant Anderson, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. Those two runs gave him a new career-high. Miles Hamm was another key player, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
Wayne Christian hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Epiphany struck out nine times.
Wayne Christian is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.4 runs on average over those games. As for Epiphany, they are on an 11-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-13.
As of now, neither Wayne Christian nor the Falcons have any future games scheduled.
