Holly entered their tilt with Wiley on Wednesday with nine consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with ten. They put the hurt on the Panthers with a sharp 13-2 win. That's more bragging rights for the Wildcats, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Coy King was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. King was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Holly's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-6 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Jerry Holdren was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one double. Those four hits gave him a new career-high.
Holly always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .618. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wiley only posted an OBP of .450.
Holly's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-6. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Wiley, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last ten games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-13-1 record this season.
