Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Covenant Day). They never let the Goose Creek Gators get on the board and left with a 15-0 victory on Monday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Lions considering their two-run performance the match before.
Mikey Scaletta was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out six batters over 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, Zeb Engstrom was incredible, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in RBI. Hunter Kincheloe was another key player, scoring three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Covenant Day always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
