Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Riverside). They put the hurt on the Sto-Rox Vikings with a sharp 20-0 win on Monday. Considering the Panthers have won six games by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Christian Lucarelli made a splash no matter where he played. He tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Zach Hare, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, four runs, and five RBI. Those four runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Drake Fox, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Riverside always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .649. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Riverside pushed their record up to 8-1 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Sto-Rox, they are on a 17-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-8.
Riverside will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Vikings: the pair will be back at it again later today.
