Newport had already won eight in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 runs) and they went ahead and made it nine on Friday. They walked away with a 9-5 victory over the Reardan Screaming Eagles. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 8-0 on Tuesday.
Ryder Riddles was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and one double.
In other batting news, Hank Kirkwood and Bradley Martin III did most of the damage at the plate: Kirkwood went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple, while Martin III went a perfect 4-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two doubles. Those two doubles gave Martin III a new career-high. Spayne Driver also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Newport pushed their record up to 12-2 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Reardan, they are on a ten-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-10.
Newport will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Screaming Eagles: the pair will be back at it again later today.
