Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Elk Grove). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Cosumnes Oaks Wolfpack a 14-0 shutout on Tuesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Thundering Herd with their most commanding win of the season.
Colton Lincoln looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Elk Grove is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 8-9 otherwise.

Elk Grove always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .686. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
