Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Humble). They blew past the North Shore Mustangs 11-4 on Friday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Wildcats needed considering they were shut out in their previous game.
John Martinez made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. He also tossed two walks, which is notable because Humble is 2-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 6-11-1 otherwise. Martinez was also big at the plate, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jaylen Jones, who scored two runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted over his last 13 contests. Another player making a difference was Jayden Fillyaw, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.
Humble has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-12-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games. North Shore dropped their record down to 2-15 with the defeat, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season.
