Cypress Bay proved they can win big last Wednesday (they won by six) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 win over the Piper Bengals. This was payback for the Lightning, who suffered an 8-7 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Carson Cook looked comfortable as he tossed 2.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (zero).
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Spencer Kuipers, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one double and one RBI. Another player making a difference was Santiago Sanchez, who scored two runs while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances.
Cypress Bay has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. With the loss, Piper broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 9-3-1.
