Elkmont barely beat Oakman the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Elkmont put the hurt on Oakman with a sharp 15-5 win on Friday. Considering the Red Devils have won nine matches by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Jake Hargrove spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned (and two unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up eight Ks. What's more, he gave up only one walk, the fewest he's had over his last six games.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Corder Hobbs, who went 2-for-4 with one home run. The team also got some help courtesy of Jake Guthrie, who scored a run while going 3-for-5.
Hobbs wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Elkmont kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That's a new trend for Elkmont: they were averaging 5.4 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 10.2.
Elkmont pushed their record up to 15-6 with the victory, which was their sixth straight on the road. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 19.3 runs over those games. As for Oakman, with the loss, they broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 17-9.
