After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Cardinal Gibbons, Leesville Road was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. They were the clear victors by a 13-4 margin over the Jordan Falcons. Considering the Pride have won five matches by more than seven runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Jack Fields tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Leesville Road got a big performance out of Zack Nash, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-4. The Pride are undefeated when Nash posts two or more runs, but 4-5 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Brett Kutner, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Leesville Road always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .550. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
The victory snapped Leesville Road's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 7-5 record. As for Jordan, their record is now an identical 7-5.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Leesville Road will be taking part in a tournament against Wake Forest at 2:00 p.m. on Friday. The last three games the Cougars have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. As for Jordan, they will take on Millbrook in a tournament on Friday.
