Three Rivers waltzed into their matchup on Tuesday with eight straight wins... but they left with nine. They blew past the Charlotte Trojans 14-3. The Bulldogs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.
Jayse Alvarado was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Grant Dragon, who went 3-for-4 with five RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those five RBI gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Evin Sheppard, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.
Three Rivers always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .594. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Charlotte only posted an OBP of .273.
Three Rivers' victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-5. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for Charlotte, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-11 record this season.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Three Rivers will face off against Knippa at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Crushers have averaged an impressive 6.9 runs per game this season. As for Charlotte, they will square off against Brackett at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Tigers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.69 runs per game on average), something the Trojans will no doubt try to take advantage of.
