Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Appomattox County). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Liberty Minutemen a 20-0 shutout on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Raiders, who have now won four games by seven runs or more so far this season.
Jack Wilkerson and Caid Burch were major factors while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Wilkerson tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Burch pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Wilkerson has been consistent: he hasn't given up a single walk in five consecutive appearances. At the plate, Wilkerson got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one run and one double, while Burch earned three runs and one stolen base. Those three runs gave Burch a new career-high.
