Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Golden). They put the hurt on the Dakota Ridge Eagles with a sharp 21-9 victory on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Demons, who have now won 14 games by six runs or more so far this season.
Adrianna Riddle spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and five unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Golden got a massive performance out of Lucca Merz, who went 4-for-6 with seven RBI, two stolen bases, and three doubles. Those three doubles gave Merz a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Reagan Smith, who went 5-for-6 with four runs, three doubles, and three RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Golden kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 21 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Golden is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Dakota Ridge, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season.
Golden will head out on the road to challenge Alameda at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Pirates have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.53 runs per game on average), something the Demons will no doubt try to take advantage of.
