Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Plant City). They were the clear victors by a 15-0 margin over the Prestonsburg Blackcats on Thursday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Raiders considering their one-run performance the match before.
Brenham Hay looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out eight over four innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Plant City is 5-2 when he allows at most two earned runs, but 7-8 otherwise.
On the hitting side, Alex Rodriguez was a standout: he got on base in all three of his plate appearances with four RBI, one run, and one double. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Keegan Wilkerson, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.
Plant City always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .611. They are a perfect 3-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Plant City is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-10 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.8 runs over those games. As for Prestonsburg, they now have a losing record of 4-5.
