Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Triton). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Fort Wayne North Side Legends a 32-0 shutout on Thursday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Trojans with their most commanding win of the season.
Drew Bingamon and Blake Ousley made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Bingamon struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). Meanwhile, Ousley tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Bingamon has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances. At the plate, Bingamon got on base in six of his seven plate appearances with four runs and two RBI, while Ousley got on base in three of his six plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Triton is 5-1 when Bingamon posts two or more runs, but 0-3 otherwise.
In other batting news, Ryder Goodman and Jadyn Prater did most of the damage at the plate: Goodman went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI, while Prater got on base in five of his six plate appearances with three runs and three RBI. Isaiah Vaca also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
