Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask St. Thomas Aquinas). They never let the West Broward Bobcats get on the board and left with a 15-0 victory on Tuesday. With that win, the Raiders brought their scoring average up to 6.2 runs per game.
Julian Diaz looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single earned run, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2024.
At the plate, St. Thomas Aquinas let Jonathan Lopez and Cole Lasher run wild. Lopez went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI, while Lasher went 2-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave Lopez a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Joshua Jennings, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
St. Thomas Aquinas always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .538. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in three consecutive games.
St. Thomas Aquinas has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games. West Broward moved to 8-6 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
St. Thomas Aquinas and West Broward should be looking forward to their upcoming games as both have a sizable advantage in the MaxPreps Florida Rankings. St. Thomas Aquinas will challenge McArthur at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday up 512 places (27 vs. 539). St. Thomas Aquinas' pitching crew has only allowed 2.6 runs per game this season, so West Broward's hitters will have their work cut out for them. Similarly, West Broward (ranked 33rd) will meet Western (ranked 149th) at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
