Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Independence). They were the clear victors by a 19-9 margin over the James Monroe Mavericks on Wednesday. That's two games straight that the Patriots have won by exactly ten runs.
Degan Williams and Cole Cunningham did most of the damage at the plate: Williams got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one home run, four runs, and one stolen base, while Cunningham got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Williams is becoming a predictor of Independence's success: when he posts at least one home run the team is 2-1 (and 4-7-1 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Micah Cuthbert, who went 2-for-4 with three runs, two RBI, and one double.
Independence kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as James Monroe only managed six hits.
Independence has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 6-8-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games. As for James Monroe, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 10-10.
Independence will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Mavericks: the pair will be back at it again later today.
