Credo had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Calistoga Wildcats a 10-0 shutout. The Gryphon might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matchups by six runs or more this season.

Henry Humphreys made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in ten consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, two doubles, and one stolen base. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Tommy Simmons, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Credo's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 7-11 when he doesn't). Amos Geist was another key player, going 1-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run.

Credo kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post 11 or more hits.

Credo now has a winning record of 12-11. As for Calistoga, they dropped their record down to 6-8 with the defeat, which was their third straight on the road.

Looking ahead, Calistoga will face off against Willits at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Credo will be paying especially close attention to the Wildcats' contest: after the Wildcats face off against the Wolverines, they'll take on Credo again at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
