Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eastridge). They put the hurt on the Newark Reds with a sharp 14-1 win on Friday. The Lancers' offense finally found a way to get into gear: the high-octane performance was a 180-degree turn from their last three games.
Evan Bishop was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Xzavier Hughey, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Peyton Kispert was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run.
Eastridge pushed their record up to 13-10 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Newark, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-12 record this season.
Eastridge will challenge Palmyra-Macedon at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Lancers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Red Raiders have averaged an impressive 8.9 runs per game this season. Newark does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
