Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Rio Vista). They put the hurt on the Lindhurst Blazers with a sharp 22-11 win on Thursday. Considering the Rams have won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Ethan Friedel was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off one hit. Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was even better at the plate, going 3-for-5 with six RBI, two stolen bases, and two doubles. Rio Vista is undefeated when Friedel posts three or more hits, but 9-11 otherwise.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Emmett Medders, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with five stolen bases, four runs, and three RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Richie Tamayo, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Rio Vista always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .651. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Rio Vista is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-11 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.4 runs over those games. As for Lindhurst, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-17.
As of now, neither Rio Vista nor the Blazers have any future games scheduled.
