Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pinecrest Academy). They never let Trinity Classical get on the board and left with a 28-0 victory on Thursday. Winning may never get old, but the Paladins sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.
Aiden Gangone was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.
In other batting news, Liam McCavitt was a standout: he got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four runs, four RBI, and one double. Another player making a difference was Charles Dodson, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four runs and three RBI.
