Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Parker). They blew past the Harvest Community Warriors 20-5 on Wednesday. The Braves might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matchups by eight runs or more this season.
Yaxiel Santiago and Marcus Cuyler did most of the damage at the plate: Santiago scored four runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances, while Cuyler scored four runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-3. Santiago is becoming a predictor of Parker's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is undefeated (and 6-11 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Billy Cummings, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
