Oak Grove put their dominant pitcher on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Monday. They never let the Tuscaloosa Academy Knights get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. Considering the Tigers have won 11 matches by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Oak Grove got a great performance from Brody Black as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. Black has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Jay Fuller was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with one triple and one run. Weston Hyche also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Oak Grove always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .633. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Tuscaloosa Academy only posted an OBP of .419.
Oak Grove pushed their record up to 21-2 with the victory, which was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Tuscaloosa Academy, they moved to 9-17 with that defeat, which also ended their seven-game winning streak.
Looking ahead, Oak Grove will be playing at home against Pleasant Grove at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Spartans have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.8 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of. Tuscaloosa Academy has already played their next contest (against American Christian Academy), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
