Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Mendon walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Batavia Blue Devils with a sharp 12-2 win on Tuesday. The Vikings might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.
Cam Barbulean was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out nine over six innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI and one double.
In other batting news, Jack Albanese was a standout: he went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and three runs. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Noah Sansone, who went 2-for-3 with three runs and one RBI.
Mendon hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least four batters in four consecutive matchups.
Mendon's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-6. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Batavia, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last ten games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-12 record this season.
Mendon will welcome East at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Batavia does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
