Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mathews). They blew past the Charles City Panthers 30-0 on Thursday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Blue Devils considering their one-run performance the contest before.
Liam Penick was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Penick was also big at the plate, getting on base in both of his plate appearances with two runs. Those two runs gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Blake Hunley was a standout: he got on base in four of his five plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and four RBI. He has become a key player for Mathews: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two stolen bases, but 5-7 otherwise. Hunter Horsley was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple.
Mathews always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .739. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Charles City only posted an OBP of .412.
Mathews has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.4 runs over those games. As for Charles City, their loss dropped their record down to 2-12.
