Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pine Ridge). They put the hurt on the South Lake Eagles with a sharp 12-2 win on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Loren Cheatham tossed a big game, pitching five innings while giving up just two earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Pine Ridge let Christopher Kable and Kenny Capria run wild. Kable went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and one double, while Capria scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. The dominant performance gave Kable a new career-high in RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Humbert Casillas, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Pine Ridge always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .548. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Pine Ridge has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-3-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. This is the second loss in a row for South Lake and nudges their season record down to 8-6.
Pine Ridge will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Lake Mary at 6:00 p.m. on March 26th. We've got a battle between Eagles coming up.
