Malad had won ten straight at home, but on Friday they bumped up to 19-4 to make it 11. They blew past the Wendell Trojans 12-2. The result was nothing new for the Dragons, who have now won 15 contests by seven runs or more so far this season.
Kurt Ward spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on two hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Carter Carey, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with six RBI, one triple, and one stolen base. Those six RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Dawson Peterson, who went 2-for-3 with four runs, three RBI, and one triple.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Malad kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in ten consecutive matchups.
As for Wendell, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-10 record this season. Admittedly, the team was facing some tough opposition over that stretch, including 12-5 Declo and 13-7 Declo (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 74.3% over those games).
On Wendell's side, they saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Santos Suarez, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run. Suarez is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games he's played.
Malad does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Wendell has already played their next contest (against Declo), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
