Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Whitman-Hanson Regional). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Quincy Presidents a 10-0 shutout on Thursday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Panthers considering their one-run performance the game before.
Shea Cote looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched.
On the hitting side, Whitman-Hanson Regional let Preston George and Jason Nye run wild. George went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base, while Nye went a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI and one run. Those three RBI gave Nye a new career-high. John Walker also deserves some recognition as he got his first hits of the season.
Whitman-Hanson Regional was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .483. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Whitman-Hanson Regional has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Quincy, their defeat was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-14.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Whitman-Hanson Regional will head out to take on Weymouth at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
