Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Quartz Hill). Everything went their way against the Eastside Lions on Friday as they made off with a 17-5 victory. With that win, the Royals brought their scoring average up to 6.5 runs per game.
Parker White made a splash while hitting and pitching. He tossed four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two runs and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Quartz Hill's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 3-1 (and 7-9 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Quartz Hill let Ryder Perry and Marley Castaneda run wild. Perry went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI, while Castaneda went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. Those three runs gave Perry a new career-high. Diego Rosales also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
