Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Plainview). They were the clear victors by a 21-3 margin over the Starks Panthers on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Caleb Calhoun was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in February. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 1-for-3. He has become a key player for Plainview: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 4-9 otherwise.
In other batting news, Gavin Fee was a standout: he went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and one run. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in February of 2024. Kendan Maricle also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen bases of the season.
Plainview always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .676. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The win (which was Plainview's third in a row) raised their record to 8-9. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Starks, they dropped their record down to 3-7 with the defeat, which was their 12th straight on the road dating back to last season.
Coincidentally, Plainview and Starks will both be playing Singer the next time they take the field. Plainview will head out to face Singer at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, while Starks will head out to face them at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
