Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Interlake). They never let the Renton Red Hawks get on the board and left with a 19-0 victory on Friday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Saints with their most commanding win of the season.
Cooper Benson made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Benson was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and two doubles. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March.
In other pitching news, Eric Wallin looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Interlake is 9-2 when Wallin allows two or fewer earned runs, but 4-5 otherwise.
Back at the plate, Interlake got a massive performance out of Ty Marcum, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. What's more, Marcum posted two hits, the most he's had since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Ben Haufe, who went 2-for-3 with five RBI and one run.
Interlake kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.6 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 10.
