Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Highland). Everything went their way against the Aurora Greenmen on Wednesday as they made off with a 9-2 win. The victory was just business as usual for the Hornets, who after nine games remain undefeated this season.
Reid Oney tossed a big game, tossing six innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits.
On the hitting side, Grady Gibb was excellent, going 2-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double. Cameron Koch also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Highland was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. The last time their batting average was this high was back in May of 2024.
Highland's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-0. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games. As for Aurora, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-7.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Highland will head out to take on Padua Franciscan at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Hornets 2, the Bruins 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned.
