Legacy never let their opponents score on Friday. They were the clear victors by a 14-0 margin over the Frederick Golden Eagles. Considering the Lightning have won 11 matches by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Braidon Brown made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with three RBI and one double.
In other batting news, Legacy got a massive performance out of Chase Hoelting, who went 3-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one double. That's the most hits Hoelting has posted since back in April of 2024. Jason Olsen was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
Legacy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Frederick only posted an OBP of .190.
The win (which was Legacy's third in a row) raised their record to 14-7. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Frederick, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-14 record this season.
Legacy will challenge Mountain Vista at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Lightning's pitchers better be ready for this one: the Golden Eagles have averaged an impressive 6.6 runs per game this season. Frederick does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
