Peyton had already won seven in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.9 runs) and they went ahead and made it eight on Friday. They put the hurt on the Limon Badgers with a sharp 16-1 victory. For the Panthers, this counts as revenge for the 22-12 win the Badgers walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2024.
Bryce Love made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single hit and allowing only one earned run while striking out nine over four innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one hit in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs, four runs, and four RBI while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in May of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Liam Stewart, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and four RBI. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Zayden Ebbert, who went 2-for-3 with three runs and two RBI.
Peyton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 12 hits in five consecutive contests.
Peyton's victory was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 15-1. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.2 runs over those games. As for Limon, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-7 record this season.
Peyton will have a chance to go back-to-back against Limon: the pair will be back at it again later today.
