Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Woodrow Wilson). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Bluefield Beavers a 12-0 shutout on Thursday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Flying Eagles with their most commanding win of the season.
Parker Williams and Tyler Wilhite made a splash no matter where they played. Throwing, Williams pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Wilhite struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). At the plate, Williams went a perfect 3-for-3 with five RBI and one double, while Wilhite scored three runs and stole four bases while going 3-for-3. Those RBI marked the first that Williams brought in this season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Drew Gallaher, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-3. That stolen base was his first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Brady Williams, who scored two runs and stole a base.
