Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Northwest). They blew past the Kenwood Knights 16-4 on Tuesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Vikings with their most commanding win of the season.
Trevor Prater made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched 3.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. Those two stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Northwest got a big performance out of Bricen Moore, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. Christian Magsby also deserves some recognition as he scored his first runs of the season.
Northwest always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .553. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
