Cactus Shadows made up a huge gap compared to their last game against St. Mary, but they still couldn't quite topple them. The Falcons never let the Knights get on the board and left with a 7-0 victory on Monday. Considering the Falcons have won 15 matches by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Not much got past Cash Duley, who gave up just two hits and racked up 13 Ks to keep St. Mary's off the board. Duley has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in ten consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Evan Hanish was a standout: he went 1-for-3 with one home run, one stolen base, and two RBI. Henry Verhamme was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run and two runs.
Hanish wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Cactus Shadows lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in March.
The win (which was Cactus Shadows' third in a row) raised their record to 20-2-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for St. Mary's, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-8.
Cactus Shadows will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Knights: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
