Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask West Catholic). They blew past the Union Red Hawks 22-3 on Monday. The victory was familiar territory for the Falcons, who have now won seven matches in a row.
Eli Ricord looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time he's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Drew Brown, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four runs, three RBI, and one triple. That triple marked the first that he has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Aidan Taylor, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one double.
West Catholic kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 21 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.2 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 9.8.
West Catholic pushed their record up to 8-2 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Union, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-11.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: West Catholic beat the Red Hawks by a score of 14-4 later that day.
