Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mattawan). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the St. Joseph Bears a 15-0 shutout on Thursday. The Wildcats have beaten the Bears the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Bears has come to flipping the script.
Kaden Jominy was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Jominy was also big at the plate, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs.
In other batting news, Brody Houseman was a standout: he got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs and two RBI. Ethan Bouma was another key player, going 3-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
Mattawan always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Mattawan's win bumped their record up to 4-1-2. As for St. Joseph, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-3.
Mattawan will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bears: the pair will be back at it again later today.
