Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Knightstown). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Richmond Red Devils a 17-0 shutout on Thursday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Knightstown got a massive performance out of Paysen Hauk, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with six RBI, three doubles, and two runs. Those six RBI gave Hauk a new career-high. Mae Hersberger was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and two doubles.
Knightstown always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .679. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Knightstown has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-10 record this season.
