Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask West Hills). They put the hurt on the Mount Miguel Matadors with a sharp 18-5 win on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Wolf Pack, who have now won six contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Carson-Kai Lewis was a major factor no matter where he played. He pitched three innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances. He was even better at the plate, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. West Hills is 7-1 when Lewis posts two or more runs, but 2-9 otherwise.
In other batting news, Joey Monetti and Ethan Vergne did most of the damage at the plate: Monetti went 1-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Vergne went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Monetti has become a key player for West Hills: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least one home run, but 7-9 otherwise. Riley Kulak was another key player, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.
West Hills always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .610. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The victory (which was West Hills' fourth in a row) raised their record to 9-10. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Mount Miguel, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-10 record this season.
