Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Navajo Prep). They blew past the Wingate Bears 28-4 on Thursday. Winning may never get old, but the Eagles sure are getting used to it with their sixth in a row.
Liam Begay made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over five innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of his six plate appearances with two RBI, one run, and one double.
In other batting news, Dontayus Tsosie and Koltyn Holyan did most of the damage at the plate: Tsosie went a perfect 4-for-4 with three stolen bases, four runs, and five RBI, while Holyan went 5-for-6 with two stolen bases, five RBI, and two runs. Navajo Prep is 4-1 when Holyan posts two or more stolen bases, but 4-12 otherwise. Khol Johnson was another key player, going 2-for-5 with two stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI.
Navajo Prep kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 24 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
