Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Buffalo Gap). They put the hurt on the Stonewall Jackson Generals with a sharp 17-4 victory on Wednesday. With that win, the Bison brought their scoring average up to 6.4 runs per game.
Cal Loan was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. Loan was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances.
In other batting news, Dalton Coffey and Cooper Simmons did most of the damage at the plate: Coffey went 2-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and one stolen base, while Simmons scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Simmons is becoming a predictor of Buffalo Gap's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 3-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Grayson McCall, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Buffalo Gap always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .561. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
