David Anderson had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Southern on Monday. The Blue Devils were the clear victors by a 17-2 margin over the Indians. Considering the Blue Devils have won six matchups by more than nine runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Logan Sturgeon was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with four runs, one triple, and two RBI. Those three hits gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Bryce Esarey, who went 2-for-5 with two triples, three runs, and two RBI. He continues to improve, besting his previous run total in each of the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Mason Jones, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.
The victory was the third in a row for David Anderson, bringing their record up to 8-7. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Southern, they dropped their record down to 3-9 with the loss, which was their fourth straight at home.
Looking ahead, David Anderson will welcome Chaney at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Southern will be paying especially close attention to the Blue Devils' game: after the Blue Devils face off against the Cowboys, they'll take on Southern again at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
