Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Simon Kenton). They were the clear victors by a 22-5 margin over the Anderson Raptors on Thursday. With that victory, the Pioneers brought their scoring average up to 6.2 runs per game.
Tyler Ruete was a standout: he got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. Those five RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Logan Judd, who went 2-for-4 with five runs, two stolen bases, and one triple.
Simon Kenton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 18 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.1 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 15.
Simon Kenton has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-5-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Anderson, their defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 5-7.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Simon Kenton will take on Ryle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Raiders' pitching crew has only allowed 3.9 runs per game this season, so the Pioneers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Anderson, they will face off against Winton Woods at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Raptors are facing the Warriors at the right time seeing as the Warriors are stuck on a nine-game losing streak.
