It was a proper cat-fight when Live Oak challenged Corning on Friday. The Lions blew past the Cardinals 8-2. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won nine matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Farron Gomez and Bradley Perigo were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Gomez struck out 11 batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. Meanwhile, Perigo pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. That's the most strikeouts Gomez has posted since back in April of 2024. At the plate, Gomez got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and two RBI, while Perigo went 2-for-4 with two runs and one double. Perigo is becoming a predictor of Live Oak's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-10 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Luis Carrasco, who went 1-for-4 with three RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March. Kaden Lee was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.
Live Oak has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-10 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Corning, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-16.
